G. macrostylum Boiss., Diagn. ser. 1(1): 58 (1843). Syn: G. tuberosum var. macrostylum (Boiss.) Boiss., Fl. Or. 1: 873 (1867)! G. tuberosum subsp. macrostylum (Boiss.) Davis in Notes R.B.G. Edinb. 22: 26 (1955). Hayek, Prodr. Fl. Bale. 1: 575(1925). Resembling G. tuberosum in its rootstock and basal leaves, but differing in usually having a pair of cauline leaves (with deeply pinnatifid segments) below the first dichotomy, glandular-pubescent pedicels, and beak attenuate into a longer style. A slender plant, with a few-flowered inflorescence. Fl. 4-6. Ouercus, Juniperus, and Cedrus forests, mountain slopes, 500-1900 m. Syntypes: [Turkey] ad umbram Juniperorum in regione alpina [C1] Mesogis supra Tralles [C2], Cadmi, [B2] Tmoli, Boissier (K! BM!).

Aznavour's record from Van {Tchitouny 91b) needs confirmation. In habit and leaf shape G. macrostylum comes very close to G. transversale Kar. & Kir. The following gathering combines the long style and glandular-pedicel indumentum of G. macrostylum with the leaves and habit of G. tuberosum subsp. tuberosum: A4 Kastamonu: Kastamonu to Küre, 1300 m, D. 21710! In the Samsun Da. material (D. 41771) the tuberous part of the rhizome is weakly developed and the flowers are clear pink with obsolescent venation; it may deserve subspecific recognition.
