Pupalia lappacea var. lappacea View in CoL
This taxon, native to Africa south of the Sahara and some countries of southern Asia ( POWO 2023), is indicated in this web-database as occurring also in Saudi Arabia, based on Miller & Cope (1996). However, Miller & Cope (1996: 294) clearly stated that “All the Arabian material is referable to var. velutina (Moq.) Hook.f., Fl. Brit. Ind. View in CoL 4: 724 (1885), characterized by its lanate tepals and sterile flowers with straw-coloured spines”. Chaudhary (1998: 239–240) did not specify any infraspecific taxon under P. lappacea but, according to the description and the illustration given (Plate 131), he referred to var. velutina View in CoL . We did not find any plants identifiable as var. lappacea View in CoL , neither in the field nor in herbaria. Moreover, no published source was found indicating P. lappacea s.str. in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we here exclude P. lappacea var. lappacea View in CoL from the Flora of Saudi Arabia.
