9a. Senecio doriiformis subsp. doriiformis

Senecio libanoticus Ehrenberg , nom. nud., in sched. ( McNeill et al. 2012, ICN Art. 38.1) (LE!, S!).

Middle cauline leaves 5.3–9 cm long, 2.4–5.9 cm wide, ovate-rhomboid to broadly lanceolate (ratio middle leaf width / middle leaf length = 0.35–0.66), ± truncate to abruptly attenuated into a petiole 1.2–3.2 cm long, often conspicously asymmetric; upper cauline leaves 1.7–7.7 cm long, 0.3–3.2 cm wide, ovate to lanceolate (ratio upper leaf width / upper leaf length = 0.15–0.59), sessile, sometimes abruptly attenuated into a petiole up to 0.7 cm.

Iconography: — Nordenstam (1989b, tab. 39).

Distribution and habitat: — Iraq, Lebanon, Syria; rocky places, woods of Cedrus libani Richard in Bory (1823: 299), on calcareous soils; elevations of 1500–2500 m ( Figure 13 ).

Phenology: — Flowering from June to July.

Discussion: — The populations from the vicinity of Van Province ( Turkey), recently identified as S. doriiformis subsp. doriiformis ( Budak 2009) , correspond to S. doriiformis subsp. orientalis because of its lanceolate cauline leaves, sessile to attenuated into a petiole.
