Description
Lappula balchaschensis Popov ex Golosk. (1975: 73).
Type:— KAZAKHSTAN. Balkhash, 13 June 1934, M. Popov 7073 (holotype AA, not seen, isotype MW0594314!)
= Lappula deserticola var. longicalyx X.M. Pi & Z.J. Wang (Wang & Pi 1997: 67). syn. nov.
Type:— CHINA, Xinjiang, Urumqi to Dabancheng, 1100 m, 27 May 1989, J.C. Zhao G-001 (holotype XJU00016493B!)
Distribution and habitat: — Lappula balchaschensis is distributed in Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and Russia (Goloskokov 1964, Ovczinnikova 2009, 2019). This species grows on the Gobi Desert at altitudes of 300–1200 m above sea level.
Phenology: —Flowering and fruiting from May to September.
Taxonomic notes: — Wang (1981) pointed out that the length of calyx and marginal glochids of nutlet were essential to identify L. balchaschensis and L. deserticola. Based on thorough examination of specimens and field investigations, we found that the length of marginal glochids was not useful to clarify these two species, because this character was quite variable within population for L. balchaschensis. We also carefully observed the nutlet morphology of L. deserticola, and the nutlets of this species were heteromorphic (Fig. 2). Based on morphological comparisons, we considered that the features of nutlet margins may be more critical than the length of marginal glochids for identification of L. balchaschensis and L. deserticola.
