REMARK

Five species of Matthiola R.Br. were previously reported from Tajikistan by Yunusov (1978): M. bucharica Czerniak. and M. obovata Bunge (endemic to Middle Asia, with main habitats in the Pamir-Alay mountains), M. integrifolia Kom. in Middle Asian (Pamir-Alay), Afghanistan and West Himalaya, M. chenopodiifolia Fisch. & C.A.Mey. (native range extending by Iran to Middle and South Asia – Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan) and M. czerniakowskae Botsch. & Vved. (endemic to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) ( Sarkisova 1974). Matthiola flavida is a polymorphic and complex species with regards to leaves and hairiness, but fairly constant in its slender habit, siliquae and short pedicels. This widespread species needs critical studies with adequate material from its entire range of distribution (Missouri Botanical Garden, 06.I.2022, http:// www.tropicos.org/name/4104642). At P, we found two specimens of M. flavida , collected by Capus (P05431756) and Regel (P05431754) in Tajikistan.
