CORYDALIS (FUMARIACEAE) SPECIES IN TRANSCAUCASUS
Keywords:
Corydalis, taxonomy, Transcaucasus, key, distributionAbstract
Representatives of 4 sections of genus Corydalis DC. grow in Transcaucasus: Corydalis with C. angustifolia (M. Bieb.) DC.; Radix-cava Irmisch with C. marschalliana (Pall. ex Willd.) Pers.; Dactylotuber Rupr. with C. alpestris C. A. Mey. and the most complicated, intricate section Leonticoides DC. It was clarified during the study that the following species from this section do not grow in Transcaucasus: C. erdelii Zucc., C. rutifolia (Sibth. & Sm.) DC., C. persica Cham. & Schltdl., C. verticillaris DC. Instead of it only C. nariniana Fed. & C. seisumsiana Lidén are encountered in Armenia. In Georgia (Javakhety) C. еrdelii is replaced by C. oppositifolia DC. In Nakhichevan solely C. seisumsiana grows instead of C. persica and C. erdelii. C. persica became the synonym for C. verticillaris the distribution of which is limited and includes solely Iran. The lectotype of C. nariniana has been designated. The identification key for Transcaucasus species including C. oppositifolia DC. and for C. erdelii and C. verticillaris with whom often they were tangled, is given. Photos of species in nature, type specimens and maps of their area are also provided.
