Lychnis alba is an older name for silene latifolia, the white campion. It's known for its white flowers, which bloom mostly at night. Unlike day-blooming flowers, it attracts moths, playing a key role in nocturnal pollination. Think of it as a retired superhero name. This plant prefers disturbed soils and is often found along roadsides. Its adaptation to night-time pollination makes it unique. It is synonymous to the white campion, silene latifolia.
