Subspecies
[edit]Four species are accepted.[1]
- Silene flavescens subsp. dictaea (Rech.f.) Greuter – eastern Crete
- Silene flavescens subsp. flavescens – Balkan Peninsula and Hungary
- Silene flavescens subsp. stojanovii (Panov) Delip. – Bulgaria
- Silene flavescens subsp. thessalonica (Boiss. & Heldr.) Nyman – Albania, Bulgaria, mainland Greece, and the East Aegean Islands.
