    Notes

    This is represented by var. clypeata (straight stiff hairs in the central part of the silicula) and var. eriocarpa (DC.) Thiéb. (long whitish hairs concealing the silicula and giving it a hirsute-villous appearance). The two varieties are completely mixed throughout their total range and cannot be regarded as geographical races (subspecies). Morphologically and chorologically more distant Anatolian populations, however, call for recognition at subspecies level (F. clypeata subsp. anatolica A. Duran & Tuştaş).
