Type:— TURKEY. C5 Içel: Gülek Boghaz, coteaux dominant le village de Gülek Boghas, pres du defile des Portes Ciliciennes, Region montagneuse, 24 June 1855, Balansa 513 (holo: E!, iso: BM!, G!, K!, W!).
Description:―Suffrutescent perennial herbs, without basal rosettes of leaves. Flowering stems erect to slightly ascending, 30‒70 cm, usually simple or weakly branched, densely or sparsely adpressed-pilose below, glabrescent above. Cauline leaves narrowly oblanceolate to lanceolate, 2‒5 × 0.2‒0.8 cm, serrate to subentire at margin, attenuate at base, obtuse at apex, gradually becoming acute above, glabrous to sparsely adpressed-pilose. Floral leaves lanceolate to linear-lanceolate or linear, longer to shorter than verticillasters upwards, 0.3‒2.5 × 0.1‒0.3 cm, with spinescent tip (spine 0.5‒1 mm). Verticillasters 5‒16(‒20), remote, (0.5) 1‒5 cm distant, 2‒6-flowered. Bracteoles few, setaceous, 1‒ 3 mm. Pedicels 2‒4(‒6) mm. Calyx subbilabiate, subcampanulate, 6‒9(‒12) mm, prominent 10-veined, sparsely hairy below, glabrescent above, with few sessile glands, mouth without a ring of hairs; teeth subequal, lanceolate, 2‒4(‒6) mm, as long as half the length of tube, slightly recurved in fruit, spinescent-tipped (spine 1‒2 mm). Corolla mauve to pale pink, lips densely short adpressed hairy outside, 9‒14 mm, tube subexserted, annulate; limb bilabiate, upper lip entire or emarginate, 4‒5 mm, lower lip 3-lobed, middle lobe largest, emarginate, 5.5‒7 mm. Stamens 4, slightly exserted from corolla tube (less than half-way along upper corolla lip). Nutlets broadly obovoid, faintly trigonous, slightly winged near base, 1.7‒2 × 1.6‒2 mm, minutely reticulate, blackish-brown.
Phenology: ―Flowering between May and July.
Distribution and ecology: ―Endemic to Turkey.East Mediterranean element.Steep limestone slopes, undergrowth of Pinus brutia forest. 400‒1700 m elevation.
Conservation status: ―NT ( IUCN 2017). Although this species is not currently in peril, its habitat is threatened by deforestration in its whole distribution area.
Remarks: ― Stachys sparsipilosa is allied to S. iberica , but differs in having long-pedicelled fruiting calyx [2‒ 4(‒6) mm]; linear-lanceolate or linear floral leaves with spinescent tip; and calyx prominently 10 veined with mouth lacking a ring of hairs.
