Flowers usually solitary, in branched, racemose, secund inflorescence. Calyx lobes linear-lanceolate, deflexed, much shorter than corolla. Corolla infundibular-campanu-late, divided to⅓ into ovate, acute lobes with ciliate margin, blue-violet. Style ± as long as corolla. Stigmas 3. Capsule globose, nodding, opening by 3 basal pores. Seeds oblong, flattened, 1.2-1.5 x 0.7-0.8 mm, brown, shiny. 1. Median cauline leaves ovate with obtuse base; corolla 2-2.5(-3) cm subsp. rapunculoides 1. Median cauline leaves deeply cordate; corolla 1-2.3 cm subsp. cordifolia subsp. cordifolia (C.Koch) Damboldt in Notes R.B.G. Edinb. 35:45 (1976). Syn: C. cordifolia C.Koch in Linnaea 19:29 (1847). Ft. 7-8. Picea forest, rocky-slopes, limestone cliffs, 300-2200 m. Type: [Turkey A2(A) Bursa] aus der Nähe von Brussa (Bursa), Thirke. Mainly N. Anatolia.

URSS 24:197(1957), this taxon is allopatric in the mountains, primarily in W. Caucasus, with subsp. rapunculoides. This does not seem to be the case in Turkey. C. rapunculoides is variable in indumentum, size and form of cauline leaves, flower size and form of inflorescence. The two recognized subspecies represent two only slightly distinct taxa. |
