Ciao Andrey, I have checked out both sp. dioca and gallica but they do not correspond. Now I will check the 2 main Italian flora sites.
Andrey, The illustrated painted illustrations in my books, including photographs can be very misleading. I have just consulted the Flora Italiana site and found that you are absolutely right. It is Silene gallica. Thanks, duffy
lila, Thanks for the ID of the Silene gallica. You are absolutely right. Can I ask whether you are a professional botanist, expert in taxonomy? duffy
