S. diversifolia Boiss., Diagn. ser. l(12):80 (1853). Perennial with sterile basal rosettes. Flowering stems erect, unbranched below, 13-60 cm, glabrescent to sparsely adpressed-pubescent. Basal leaves ovate to oblong-elliptic, 0.6-5 x 0.4-1.5 cm, subentire to faintly serrate, cuneate to attenuate into 0.5-5 cm petiole, petiole and leaf surfaces with long adpressed hairs. Cauline leaves subsessile to sessile, oblanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 0.6-5 x 0.2-1 cm, entire, attenuate. Floral leaves similar to cauline, uppermost ones spinescent-tipped and as long as verticillasters. Verticillasters 1-2-flowered, lower remote, 3-4.'5 cm distant, upper ± approximate on simple or branched inflorescence axis. Bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, 2-4 mm, mucronate. Pedicels 1-1.5 mm. Calyx ± regular, narrowly campanulate, 5-7 mm; teeth ± equal, erect, c. 1/2 x calyx tube, glabrescent to minutely hirsute. Corolla pale pink, 12-16 mm, tube exserted. Stamens slightly exserted from corolla tube. Nutlets obovoid, 2-2.5 mm, brown, smooth. Fl. 5-9. Rocky mountainous ground, river banks, Pinus brutia and Fagus-Quercus woods, 240-1500 m. Type: [Latakia] in dumosis regionis montanae in via inter Latakieh et Aleppum loco 6-7 leucis (24-28 km) a priori distanti, vi 1846, Boissier (holo. G!). S. Anatolia.

A very distinct species showing some affinity with S. inanis and S. munzurdagensis, but readily distinguishable by its more or less simple flowering stems and oblong-lanceolate 2-4 mm bracteoles with mucronate tip. The inflorescence is very characteristic; it is either simple or sparsely branched above. In the simple type, one side of the verticillaster usually aborts so that the verticillaster becomes 1-flowered. The opposite side either remains barren or an axillary flowering branch develops in the manner described above. Occasionally, instead of aborting or producing flowering branches, the opposite axil produces a normal flower bud and the verticillaster appears 2-flowered. All these types occur either on the same plant or on different plants in the same population.
