A New Record: Cyclamen Persicum Mill. var. Autumnale Grey-Wilson was Added to the Native Lebanese Flora
Keywords:
Primulaceae, Cyclamen persicum Mill. var. autumnale Grey-Wilson, taxonomy, biodiversity, flora, Lebanon, Mediterranean.Abstract
Cyclamen persicum var. autumnale Grey-Wilson was observed to thrive in abundance in the village of Bchamoun, Lebanon. The plant was re-described and illustrated. Morphologically, this variety closely resembles Cyclamen persicum Mill. But it differs in some taxonomic and other details, such as smaller flowers and leaves, growth of flowers before leaves, and very early flowering (in Autumn) for a short period.
