Native distribution and occurrence in Central Asia

Hirschfeldia incana is a Mediterranean species that has never been recorded from Central Asia as a whole. The closest approach of its native distribution area is in Iran ( Hedge 1968).

Occurrence in Kyrgyzstan

New country record, and the first record in Central Asia. A single plant was noticed and collected in 2013 among shrubs in Kyr-Koo Village on the western side of Fergana Range (Fig. 9), but the area has not been specially explored for the species.

Invasion status in Kyrgyzstan

Most likely this is a casual, ephemeral introduction, caused by long-distance dispersal.
