Silene viscosa, the white sticky catchfly, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae.[2] It is native to cool-temperate areas of eastern Europe, western Siberia, and western and central Asia, and has been introduced to Germany.[1] Molecular analysis shows that it contains two highly divergent genetic lineages.[3] There is a western lineage and an eastern lineage, suggesting that one is a cryptic species.[3]
