Cerastium vagans ciliatum Tutin & E.F.Warb. (1932:8)
Taxonomy & Nomenclature
WFO (2026): "This name is currently unchecked and awaiting taxonomic scrutiny". Curiously, not included by Roxo et al. (2026) in their study which included 12 taxa whose taxonomic validity is not certain. Wikispecies (2026) treats C. azoricum Hochst. ex Seub. as a synonym of C. v. ciliatum, but this synonymy is not accepted by POWO (2026) or Tropicos (2026). Roxo et al. (2026) do include C. azoricum in their study, so perhaps they considered the two taxa synonymyous with C. azoricum taking priority contra Wikispecies (2026).
