10. Orobanche alba Stephan ex Willdenow (1800: 350) View in CoL . Type:— RUSSIA (lectotype designated here): 1. “ Or. alba 3 [in Sibiria versus Mare Caspium (Caspian Sea, North Caucasian Federal District)], Rchb. fil.”. ‒ 2. “Rchb. Icones ... Me judice hic est Typus vera O. alba ex ... Willdenowianii [m. Reichenbach f.]”. ‒ 3. “ Orob alba Steph. An ab auctore? … Or albae Steph. ... det. Dr. G. Beck [m. Beck]”. – 4. “214 W”.(B-W 11600 -03 0!). Heterotypic synonyms:— Orobanche epithymum DC. in Lamarck & Candolle (1805: 490); Orobanche grigorjevii Novopokrovskij (1950: 326) . Fig. 45C View FIGURE 45 .

Notes: — The species was described by Willdenow based on the Caspian material sent by Stephan. The lectotype we chose fits well with the Willdenow’s description of this species as it was previously indicated by Reichenbach f. (1862: 101). Willdenow’s sheet also contains a copy of the drawing made by Reichenbach f. (1862: t. 215( I) f. 1‒7) of this specimen. In addition, here, we cite the lectotype of the referenced synonym, on materials cited by the author of this name .

Orobanche epithymum DC. in Lamarck & Candolle (1805: 490). Type :— FRANCE (lectotype designated here): env. de Paris [Fontainebleau], croît toujours sur les radice thym [ Thymus ] (P-00358187-hb. Lamarck!).

Distribution: —Scattered localities in almost all regions of the country ( Fig. 46).

General distribution: —It is widely distributed, from Europe and eastwards to Asia Minor, the Caucasus, central Asia and the Himalayas.

Habitat: —Rocky slopes, subalpine meadows, edges of forests and shrubs, mixed forests, roadsides, juniper open forests, steppe communities, ruderal communities, edges of orchards, even in the crater of a volcano (Vayots Mt) on volcanic slag, usually (700)1500‒2200(2600) m.

Hosts: —Only on Lamiaceae , usually on Thymus sp. , less commonly on Ziziphora sp. , rarely Origanum sp. [in Tavush province] and Satureja sp. [Syunik prov.], like T. transcaucasicus Ronn. , T. kotschyanus subsp. migricus (Klok. & Shost.) Menitsky , T. kotschyanus Boiss. & Hohen. subsp. kotschyanus , T. sipyleus Boiss. [ T. rariflorus K. Koch ], T. fedtschenkoi Ronn. , Z. clinopodioides Lam. , Z. clinopodioides subsp. rigida (Boiss.) Rech. f. [ Z. rigida (Boiss.) Heinr. Braun ], O. vulgare L.

Phenology: —Flowering (May) June to July, fruiting July–August.

Conservation status: —Least Concern (LC). The species has rather wide distribution in Armenia (all floristic regions).

Notes: —It is a very polymorphic species, varying in morphometric traits, colour, phenological periods, and preferred hosts. It is subdivided into many subordinate taxa, which differ in morphometric characteristics, colour, hosts, etc. (e.g., Beck 1890, 1922, 1930, Rätzel & Uhlich 2004).
