Sanguisorba L. |
| S. minor Scop., Fl. Carn. 110 (1772). Figure 1, p. 87. Stems erect, (5-) 10-75 cm, glabrous, puberulous or sparsely pilose, sparingly branched. Lower leaves in rosettes at the base of the stems, ± oblong, pinnate with (7-) 11-17 orbicular to oblong to ovate, deeply serrate leaflets, usually pilose or sericeous-pilose beneath. Upper leaves few, similar to rosette leaves but with fewer, relatively narrower leaflets. Heads ± globose. Sepals green with whitish or pinkish margins, ovate-oblong, 2-3 mm. Hypanthium forming a hard, nut-like 4-angled fruit with hairy, wrinkled or verrucose faces. A very variable species which Nordborg divides into 6 subspecies, definable on fruit characters, which are not correlated with any other vegetative or floral features. Of the 6 subspecies, 4 occur in Turkey. 1. Fruit puberulous, obovoid or ovoid, rounded to the apex, not compressed, the 4 wings obscure, the surface wrinkled or almost smooth, 2-3 x 1-1.5 mm (Figure 1) . subsp. lasiocarpa 1. Fruit glabrous, rounded or ± acute at the apex, compressed or not, wings often conspicuous, surface usually conspicuously wrinkled or verrucose, 2.5-4 x 1.3 mm 2. Angles not prominently winged, rather flattened; fruit fusiform, somewhat compressed, surface wrinkled, 3-3.7 x 1-1.5 mm (Figure 1) subsp. minor 2. Angles prominently winged, or if not, fruit markedly verrucose with conspicuous projections, not flattened, ovoid to obovoid 3. Surface of fruit thrown into coarse folds and wrinkles; fruit 3-4 x1.6-2.5 mm (Figure 1) subsp. muricata 3. Surface of fruit drawn up into prominent projections; fruit 3.5-4.5 x 2-3 mm (Figure 1) subsp. magnolii subsp. muricata (Spach) Briq., Prodr. Fl. Corse 2(l):210 (1913).
