|discussion=<p><i>Silene coniflora</i> apparently was introduced into North America in the early days of European exploration and settlement of the Pacific coast. It occurs as a native species from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean to Pakistan and Afghanistan. The report by C. V. <i>Piper</i> (1906) of its occurrence in Washington is based on a specimen of <i>S. conica</i>. I have been unable to confirm the statement by M. E. Peck (1961) that S. multinervia is “sparingly introduced” along the coast of Oregon.</p>
