TURKEY, Ankara, Rostan s.n. (lectotype G-DC, designated by Sa’ad 1967: 227).
Description.
Perennial herb with decumbent or prostrate stems spreading from a central tap root and reaching 50 cm, vegetative parts softly tomentose. Leaves petiolate, 1.5-4 × 1-3 cm, ovate to ovate-triangular, apex acute to mucronate, margin undulate, sinuate or, above, weakly 5-lobed, base cordate and shortly attenuate onto the petiole, veins prominent below; petioles 0.5-1.4 cm. Flowers 1-2 in pedunculate, axillary cymes; peduncles 0.8-2.5 cm; bracteoles 2 -4 mm, linear to filiform; pedicels 0.5-1.4 cm; outer sepals 7-10 × 5-8 mm, broadly ovate, rounded and mucronate to acute, somewhat convex, tomentose, greyish, inner sepals c. 7 × 5 mm. glabrous, membranous; corolla 2.6-3 cm long, deep pink, unlobed, midpetaline bands adpressed pilose, terminating in a tooth; filaments glandular below; ovary pilose (or fide Sa’ad (1967: 230) glabrous), style glabrous or thinly pilose, divided 7 mm above base, stigmas 3-3.5 mm long. Capsule and seeds not seen. [ Sa’ad 1967: 227; Tohmé and Tohmé 2007: 215 (photo)]
Distribution.
Almost restricted to Turkey: Turkey (Rix 322, Bornmüller 3176, Siehe 182, Sintenis 6078, Balls 516); Iraq? (Kotschy 73), Lebanon (fide Mouterde 1978: 37).
Notes.
The small ovate-triangular leaves and the softly tomentose indumentum help to identify this species. It might be confused with some forms of Convolvulus stachydifolius but the sepals are ovate and rather larger.
