Silene stockenii is a species of flowering plant in the Caryophyllaceae first described in 1973.[1] The specific epithet is named after Christopher Maitland Stocken, who discovered it in 1962 in Bornos.[2] It is native to Spain ,[1] where it is endemic to grasslands growing in calcareous soil on formations made from calcarenite (a type of limestone)[3] west of Cádiz in Andalusia.[4] It is currently listed as critically endangered.[4] In 1993, the number of individuals belonging to this species was estimated to be below 2000.[5]

Silene stockenii is a gynodioecious–gynomonoecious species.[6] In this species 7% of individuals are females, 53.5% are hermaphrodites, and 39.5% are intermediate.[5]
