Annual with erect, usually simple, stems 30-80 cm, branched in region of inflorescence, with an indumentum of short stellate hairs. Basal leaves long-petiolate, 2-pinnatisect, segments linear, terminal longer than lateral. Inflorescence subglobose, elongating in fruit. Petals (2-)2.5-4 x 0.5-1 mm, yellow or golden yellow, sometimes broadened at base of claw. Fruiting pedicels erect-ascending (5-)10-15 mm. Fruit 9-12 x c. 1 mm; style c. 0.4 mm. Fl. 5-6. Waste places, 400-800 m. Described from Lazistan. Scattered. A4 Çankiri: Çankiri, 800 m, Bornm. 1929: 13756! A5 Amasya: Amasya, 400-600 m, Bornm. 1889: 1330. B7 Erzincan: d. Refahiye, 1560 m, Hub.-Mor. 13755. C2 Denizli: nr. Sirçalik, 1040 m, Hub.-Mor. 13756. Transcaucasia. Characterised by the subglobose young inflorescences. Species imperfectly known D. bartschii Schulz (Not. Bot. Gart. Berl. 11: 391, 1930-34) was described from Erdschias (Ercias Da.), 1700 m, based on a gathering by Bartsch (204). It was related to D. sophia var. dasycarpa Schulz, from which it differed in the presence of small glandular hairs in the region of the inflorescence. The specimen, once in the Berlin herbarium, has been destroyed. |
