V. syriaca Roemer & Schultes, Syst. Veg. 1:116 (1817). Syn: V. debilis Freyn subsp. aksekiensis M.A.Fischer in Öst. Bot. Zeitschr. 120:426 (1972)! Ic: LabilL, Icon. Pl. Syr. 5: t. 5 f. 2 (1812); Öst. Bot. Zeitschr. 120:427 f. 2d-i (1972). Differs from V. debilis mainly by leaves larger, petiole 1-4 mm, lamina broadly ovate to suborbicular, 6-15x3-10 mm, deeply irregularly obtuse-serrate or crenate with to 6 teeth per side, or entire; apical cells of glandular hairs larger, darker; seeds with a ± distinct chalazal podium on ventral side. 2n— 14. Fl. 2-5. Pinus forest, macchie, rocky slopes, bare clayish soil, fallow fields, s.l.-l200 m. Type: [Syria] juxta Damascum in monte Dgebel Cher dicto (Jabal ash Shir), Lα Billardiére (holo. G). Mainly S. Anatolia. Bl Izmir: Halkapinar, 11 v 1965, Regel (EGE 14445)! C3 Antalya: d. Antalya, Aksu, 2 m, D. 25685! C3/4 Antalya: Alanya bay, 2 m, D. 25907!

Gaziantep: nr Gaziantep, 12 iii 1865, Hausskn.! C6/7 Urfa: nr Birecik, iii 1867, Hausskn.! W. Syria. E. Medit. element. Rather variable. Many Turkish specimens have comparatively small leaves, capsules and seeds and an indistinct chalazal podium. They resemble V. debilis rather strongly and have been described as V. debilis subsp. aksekiensis. Further studies are needed to find out if they represent an entity well distinct from the type. No literature records have been considered because of frequent confusion with other species.
