Lathyrus spathulatus

الوصف النباتي

Life-form & diagnostic characters: Perennial herb. Davis distinguishes the true species by middle leaves with two pairs of leaflets, a broadly spatulate style, and calyx teeth with a somewhat membranous margin. Its racemes are shorter and bear fewer flowers than those of L. elongatus, which has consistently one pair of leaflets and more attenuated calyx teeth.

Historical regional morphology: Mouterde’s broader combined account describes plants glabrous or finely pubescent, with a short rhizome and erect, angular, unwinged stems 20–40 cm or taller. Stipules narrow and half-arrow-shaped; lower leaves with one leaflet pair, upper leaves commonly with two closely adjacent pairs. Erect peduncles usually exceed the leaves and carry loose racemes of 5–10 deep violet-purple flowers, 12–20 mm or longer. Pods linear, about 6 cm long and 7 mm wide. These measurements describe the historical combined treatment and are not a separately verified diagnosis of L. spathulatus.

Flowering: March–June in Mouterde’s combined regional treatment; not separately established there for L. spathulatus.

الانتشار الموثق

Regional distribution: Davis explicitly records the true L. spathulatus from the Amanus mountains, Lebanon, Anti-Lebanon and Jordan. Mouterde’s combined locality lists cannot be assigned unequivocally to this species.

Recorded locations: Kornet Chehwan.

Native range: Lebanon-Syria, Palestine and Türkiye, according to the previously verified complete Kew POWO distribution record.

Taxonomic reference: P. H. Davis, Materials for a Flora of Turkey: VI, Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh 24: 20–21 (1962).

Synonyms: Lathyrus digitatus var. stenophyllus (Bornm.) Dinsm.; Lathyrus elongatus var. stenophyllus (Bornm.) Širj.; Orobus sessilifolius var. stenophyllus Bornm. Davis also clarifies Lathyrus celakovskyi Širj. as synonymous with L. spathulatus when correctly typified.
