Type: Turkey A5 Amasya; Sulucre, about 30 km N.W. of Amasya, forest remnants, 630 m, 10 vii 1963, M. Zohary 10713 (holo. HUJ!). Endemic. Only known from the type specimen. *subsp. mitis (Wallr.) Mansf. in Feddes Rep. 49:45 (1940). Syn: Pyrus mains L. var. mitis Wallr., Sched. Crit. Fl. Hal. 215 (1822); Malus domestica Borkh., Handb. Forstbot. 2:1272 (1803). Widely cultivated in Turkey and elsewhere for its fruit-the Apple (Turkish 'Elma") and possibly occasionally escaping. The specimens cited under var. orientalis from A6 Samsun (Tobey 1580) and from A8 Gümüşane (Furse & Synge 31) may be referable to this subspecies, but since both specimens lack mature leaves, this cannot be confirmed. Subsp. mitis is probably of hybrid origin. Subsp. sylvestris, a European taxon, differs in its leaves being glabrous when mature, with rounded leaf bases.
