Dodartia orientalis
Dodartia orientalis L.
Dodartia orientalis L., a member of the Mazaceae family, is a plant species described by Linnaeus in 1753. It is distributed across several regions including Russia, Ukraine, Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. The name is not based on the Tournefort collection, as Linnaeus did not examine that material.
Description
Dodartia orientalis L. is a species within the Mazaceae family. It was first published in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. The plant is native to a wide range of regions, including parts of Russia (such as Central European Rus, East European Russia, and the North Caucasus), Ukraine, the Transcaucasus, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, and parts of China and Mongolia. The species was initially thought to be based on a Tournefort collection, but this material was not examined by Linnaeus and is therefore not considered the original type for the name. The genus Dodartia includes a small number of species, and D. orientalis is one of the more widely distributed. The plant is adapted to temperate and semi-arid climates, and it is found in a variety of habitats across its range.
