''Silene tomentosa'', the Gibraltar campion, is a very rare〔(Gibraltar Flora )〕 flowering plant of the genus ''Silene'' and the family Caryophyllaceae. It is a woody-based perennial about 40cm high, with bilobed flowers ranging from pink to pale violet and is endemic to Gibraltar.〔 ==Re-discovery and conservation==
Although the scientific community outside Gibraltar already thought ''Silene tomentosa'' to be extinct, the Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society's botanical section knew it was still around in 1985, but by 1992 they also considered it to be extinct.〔(Saving Silene )〕 It was later re-discovered in 1994, when it was found growing in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.〔 Following this re-discovery, it was propagated at the Millennium Seed Bank and the type specimen is kept at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London.〔(Millennium Seed Bank Project )〕 Using knowledge gained from this process, other plants have been successfully reintroduced into the Upper Rock Nature Reserve on the Rock of Gibraltar. Silene tomentosa is protected by the law of Gibraltar under the ''Nature Protection Act, 1991''.〔(Nature Protection Act, 1991 )〕
