R. sylvestre(L.) Bess., Enum. PL Volhyn. 27 (1822). Syn: Sisymbrium sylvestre L., Sp. PL 657 (1753); Nasturtium sylvestre (L.) R. Br. in Aiton, Hort. Kew, ed. 2, 4: 210 (1812). I?: Ross-Craig, Draw. Brit. PL 3: 5 (1949). Figures 12, 19, pp. 255, 435. Stoloniferous perennial herb. Stems ascending to erect, 12-60 cm, furrowed, ± glabrous. Leaves all pinnate to pinnatisect (very rarely the uppermost almost entire), with oblong, toothed segments. Petals bright yellow, 3-5 mm, clearly exceeding the sepals. Fruits siliquiform, linear, often curved, 7-18 mm, borne on horizontal or somewhat ascending pedicels. Fl. 6-9. Marshes, swampy ground, river banks, etc., very rarely in cultivated land, s.1.-1800 m. Described from Switzerland, Germany & France (Hb. Linn. 836/6!). Widespread. Al Edirne: nr. Maritsa (Meriç), Davidov. A2(E) Istanbul: Rumelihisarı, Post ! A3 Bolu: Abant G., Khan et al. 541! A5 Amasya: Tersakan Valley, Çetik! A6 Ordu: Ordu, Hand.-Mazz. 1035. A7 Trabzon: between Trabzon & Bayburt, 1853, Huet! A8 Rize: Rize, Post 1910: 2002! Bl Çanakkale: Pınarbaşı, Sint. 1883: 1013! B2 Kütahya: Gediz to Kütahya, 1000 m, D. 36909! B4 Ankara: Ankara, Çubuk Su, D. 21432! B9 Muş: Malazgirt, 1500 m, Schischkin. C2 Muğla: Girdev G., 1800 m, D. 13753! C3 Antalya: Serik to Karanlik Sokak, 150 m, Tengwall! C4 Konya: d. Çumra, Küçük Köy, 980 m, Helbaek 2669! Temperate Eurasia. Very variable. R. prolifera (Heuff.) Neilr., which is said to differ from R. sylvestre in having numerous short, branched racemes and smaller fruits, has been recorded for Turkey by Bornmüller (Feddes Rep. Beih. 89(1): 28, 1936). However, its diagnostic characters occur in combinations with characters of R. sylvestre in many of the specimens cited above, and it therefore does not seem worthy of specific recognition. |
