Abstract
Silene L. (Linnaeus 1753) is the largest genus of the family Caryophyllaceae. Also, Silene is one of the largest genera of World’s flowering plants by comprising about 750 species of which approximately half naturally distributed in the Mediterranean area (Melzheimer 1988, Oxelman et al. 2001, Rautenberg et al. 2012, Atasagun et al. 2016). Two main diversity centers of the genus are known as South Balkan Peninsula and Southwest Asia (Greuter 1995, Mabberley 2008). Concerning Turkey, Silene is represented by 165 taxa (31 sections) of which 72 are endemic (Coode Karyotype Analysis of Silene muradica Schischk. (Caryophyllaceae), an Endemic Species in Turkey
