Notes on the genus Silene (Caryophyllaceae, Sileneae) in Iran

• Two new species-Silene orientoalborzensis and S. circumcarmanica-are here described from Northeast and South Iran, respectively. They belong to Silene subg. Silene sect. Auriculatae which is the largest section of the genus in W-Asia. A specimen from center of Iran, which was identified erroneously as S. atocioides, is revised and identified as S. pendula which represents a new record for the Iranian flora. S. simsii is proposed as a nomen novum for Cucubalus multifidus.
