Figure 13, p. 333. Perennial. Stems 1-2, 20-25 cm, erect or ascending, unbranched, adpressed- setose, puberulous, densely leafy below, less so above. Leaves 20-40x5-9 mm, lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, acute, yellowish-green above, greyish beneath, patent-setose, puberulous; basal petiolate, cauline sessile. Bracts few, small, linear-lanceolate. Inflorescence of 2-5 lax cymes clustered at stem apex. Pedicels 3-4 mm. Calyx 12 mm in flower, 14 mm in fruit, lobes lanceolate, sometimes connate at base, base accrescent and becoming gibbous, nerves projecting as 5 setose keels. Corolla bright yellow, 14-17 mm, ± cylindrical, puberulous, lobes small, revolute, ciliate. Anthers exserted for 2-3 mm. Nutlets 2-5-3 mm, broadly ovate, with distinct laterally compressed beak, greyish, smooth to slightly rugulose. Fl 5-7. Pinus,forest, Qoercus scrub, steppe, rocky limestone slopes, fallow fields, 350-2150 m. Type: [Turkey B9 Bitlis] Kurdistan: Bitlis, 1400 m, [8 vi] 1939, Frödin 149 (holo. W! iso. UPS). Mainly S.E. Anatolia. A/B3 Eskişehir: Mihaliççik to Sariyar baraji, 900 m, D. 37219! B7 Elaziğ: 12 km E. of Elaziğ, 1 160 m, M.Zohary 3764(!). B8 Erzurum: 30 km W. of Erzurum, 1780 m, M.Zohary 67334(!). B9 Bitlis: 2 km from Bitlis, 1630 m, Hub.-Mor. 13528! Van: 24 km from Timar (Canik) to Van, 1750 m, D. 44191! Q Maraş: Maraş to Göksun road, 1400 m, Stn. & Hend. 5551 !

Closely related to O. elwendicum Wettst.; treated as conspecific in Flora Iranica - Boraginaceae 196 (1967). After further study I have come to the conclusion that the former treatment was incorrect. O. elwendicum differs in having calyx 14-17 mm in flower, to 20 mm in fruit; corolla 18-20 mm or sometimes more. |
