C. macropus Boiss. & Heldr. in Boiss., Diagn. ser. 1(11):57 (1849). Syn: C. macropus Boiss. & Heldr. var. phrygia Boiss., Fl. Or. 3:837 (1875) pro parte quoad plantas turcicas. Ic: Babcock, Gen. Crepis f. 120 (1947). Divaricately branched ± caulescent perennial, 15-50 cm with ± woody caudex and sturdy tap root. Stems erect, usually leafy below, several-capitulate, glabrous or tomentose. Basal leaves 6-15 x 1-3.5 cm, ± elliptic, pinnatifid with many ± triangular acute, dentate to deeply toothed mucronate segments, apex acute, usually tomentose and setose or not. Uppermost leaves linear, bract-like. Peduncles 5-20 cm, widely spreading to erect. Capitula 30-55-flowered. Involucre 6-12 mm, inner phyllaries densely white-tomentose, apex and midrib often dark, occasionally setose. Receptacle ciliate. Ligules 10-12 mm, yellow. Style branches yellow. Achenes 6.5-7 mm, unbeaked, reddish-brown with c. 10 minutely spicu-late ribs. Pappus partly exserted from involucre. Fl. 6-7. Chalk or shaly rocks or slopes, steppe, fieldsides, 750-1600 m. Type: [Turkey C4 Konya] in collibus aridis Lycaoniae ad occidentem urbis Koniah Beycheher versus, Heldreich (G). Mainly C. Anatolia. A3 Bolu: Nallıhan to Mudurnu, 1200 m, D. 37063!

C5 Konya: Bulgar Da., nr Ereğli, Birand & M.Zohary 2765! Endemic. Ir.-Tur. region. Related to the two Balkan species C. turcica Degen & Bald.and C. albanica (Jáv.) Babcock. The specimen from Soviet Armenia, on the Turkish border, collected by Nordmann and cited by Boissier (Fl. Or. 3:837, 1875) as C. macropus var. phrygia is treated by Czerepanov (Fl. URSS 29:634, 1964) as C. sonchifolia (Bieb.) C.A.Meyer, a closely related Caucasian species which may be found in the adjoining regions of N.E. Turkey. C. macropus differs from C. sonchifolia in having smaller flowers and fewer ribs to the achene, but might be better treated at subspecific level when more material of C. sonchifolia is available. Siehe 554, cited above, was misidentified and recorded by Hayek (Ann. Nat. Hofmus. Wien 28:172, 1914) as C. aculeata (DC.) Boiss., an unrelated annual species in Sect. Nemauchenes known from Syria, Palestine and Cyprus. |
