A specimen from C4 Antalya: Han Boğazi forest S. of Geyik Da, 1580 m, D. 14695! is unusual in being biennial, with heart-shaped bracts, twin-beaked nutlets and very large basal leaves in a non-flowering rosette. It is referable to subsp. minor by its glabrous pedicels and blackish nutlets, but the characters listed above and its distribution relative to that of subsp. minor make this identification doubtful. Further material, including young flowering specimens, is required. |
