I. mariae Bordz. in Mem. Soc. Nat. Kiev 25:115, f. 9 (1915). Syn:/. aromatica Freyn & Sint. in Bull. Herb Boiss. 3:345 (1895)! non L. (1760); I. blepharophylla Bornm. & Woronow in Feddes Rep. Beih. 89:318 (1944)? Ic: Trudy Bot. Inst. Akad. Nauk Armyan. SSR 11:21, f. 4 (1958).   Rhizomatous perennial. Stems 19-35 cm, ± erect, leafy, unbranched except at apex, purplish, covered with spreading whitish hairs and minute glands. Leaves oblanceolate or oblong-spathulate, acute or obtuse, basal 10-16x2-2∙8 cm, attenuate and shortly petiolate at base; upper smaller, sessile, cordate and shortly decurrent; margins denticulate, pubescent and minutely glandular on both surfaces. Capitula radiate, 2-6 in corymbs, rarely solitary. Involucre 2-3 cm broad; phyllaries subequal, 4-seriate; outer elliptic or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate at apex, 13-15x5-7 mm, herbaceous with thickened bases, ± densely covered with long white or yellowish villous hairs; inner narrower, innermost linear, c. 0∙75 mm broad. Ray flowers c. 30, ligules 13-18 mm, villous at base. Disc flowers 8-9 mm. Achenes 2∙5-3∙5 mm, obscurely ribbed, ± densely pubescent. Pappus brownish, 7-8 mm, hairs 30-35, scabrous, free at base. Fl. 7-8. In alpine meadows, 2100-2300 m.   Syntypes: Georgia, d. Akhalkalaki, mt. Abul, Krynitzki; d. Alexandropol, mt. Maimekh, T. Roop; [Turkey A9 Kars] mt. Saghanlug, T. Roop; d. Kaghyzman (Kağizman), mt. Kecza-czi, T.Roop.   N.E. Anatolia. A7 Gümüşane: above Artabir (Ertabil), Sint. 1894:7228 (type of I. aromatica)! Kop Da. Geçidi, 2135 m, Guichard T/103/60! A9 Kars: Yalnizçam Da., above Yalnizçam, 2300 m, D. 32558!   Transcaucasia. Euxine (mt.) element. I. blepharophylla from the description is obviously closely related to this species but has narrower upper leaves and, as Bornmüller (1944) points out in discussion, the pappus measures 3∙5-4 mm and consists of only 6-8 hairs. The type, Woronow s.n. (26 vii 1911) is from 'Pontus: Baku, distr. Artwin . . . prope pagum Tisra' ('Baku' is presumably a misprint for Batumi).
