R. millefolius Banks & Sol. in Russell, Aleppo, ed. 2, 2: 254 (1794) subsp. millefolius. Syn: R. orientalis L., Sp. PL 555 (1753)!, non auct. R. myriophyllus DC, Syst. 1: 257 (1817); R. myriophyllus Russ. in Boiss., Fl. Or. 1: 36 (1867); R. malabailae Boiss., Fl. Or. 1: 37 (1867)! Ic.: Delessert, Ic. Pl. 1: t. 31 (1820). Figure 6, p. 175.   Perennial, 12-30 cm. Root tubers oblong-cylindrical, 1.5-2 cm. Stem ad-pressed-villose, divaricately 3-13-flowered. Radical leaves 3-pinnatisect, sub-sericeous, with oblong-lanceolate, often toothed laciniae 5-10 mm (sometimes cuneate and trifid). Sepals adpressed, densely pilose. Petals obovate, 8-12 mm. Fruiting head oblong, 10-15 x 8-10 mm. Achenes obtusely obtriangular, glabrous, punctulate, 2-2.5 mm, with or without a short basal appendage, contracted into a spreading, ± straight, 1.5-2.5 mm beak. Fl. 3-4. Rocky slopes, open scrub, fields and roadsides, nr. s.I.-1000 m.   Holotype: [Syria] c. Aleppo, Russell (BM!).   Isaurian Taurus to Mesopotamia. C4 lçel: d. Gülnar, Ahirini, 700 m, D. 26052! C5 lçel: Plain of Mersin, Bal. 734! Seyhan: Misis, Kotschy 1859: suppl. 29 (type of R. malabailae)! C6 Maraş: 10 km S of Maraş, 550 m, D. 27338! Gaziantep: Telhüyük, between Gaziantep and Pazarcik, 800 m, D. 27812! Hatay: d. Antakya, Şenköy, 1000 m, D. 27210! Urfa: Biredjik, by Kalfatli, Sint. 1888: 328! Seyhan: Haruniye, 14 iv 1951, Haruniye Enstitüsü! C8 Mardin: plain of Mardin, 1855, Loftus!   N. Iraq, Syrian Desert, Cyprus; N.W. Iran? Replaced in W. Syria by subsp. hierosolymitanus (Boiss.) Davis; it has been recorded from Osmaniye in Amanus by Post (ed. Dinsm.), Fl. Syr. 1: 12 (1932), but the record seems doubtful. The species differs from R. macrorhynchus by its shorter leaf laciniae, elongated fruiting head, and achenes with a nearly straight beak. Intermediates between R. millefolius sensu stricto and R. macrorhynchus subsp. trigonocarpus have been seen from N. Iraq. R. orientalis L. is treated as a nomen confusion.
