|discussion=<p><i>Silene parryi</i> is very similar to <i>S. douglasii</i>, but the latter is normally eglandular with a characteristic short, gray, retrorse pubescence. The two species may hybridize, accounting for the occurrence of populations of <i>S. douglasii</i> with some glandular pubescence in the inflorescence. <i>Silene parryi</i> is closely related also to <i>S. scouleri</i>, but the latter is normally readily distinguished by its pink flowers; taller stature; long, narrow, many-flowered inflorescences; and fusiform fruiting calyces that are constricted around the carpophore. However, some depauperate specimens of <i>S. scouleri</i> from montane habitats are difficult to place. Also, small plants of <i>S. parryi</i> from alpine habitats can easily be mistaken for <i>S. grayi</i>. The anthers of <i>S. parryi</i> are often smutted with Microbotryum violaceum (Persoon) G. Deml & Oberwinker [= Ustilago violacea (Persoon) Roussel], e.g., in the type collection of S. tetonensis.</p>
