IntroductionDuring floristic investigations, the authors collected

many interesting specimens belonging to Cruciferae fromaround the ras iver ( alklak, ars, north-east

natolia, urkey). nitial attempts to name one specimenusing theFlora of Turkey (Cullen, 19 ; Davis et al.,19 ; ner et al., ) were unsuccessful. ventually,using the generic account in theFlora of Iraq ( ownsend,19 ), the specimens were identified asStrigosella intermedia (C. . ey.) otsch.Strigosella oiss. is now considered a synonym ofMalcolmia W. . iton ( reuter et

al., 19 ; l- hehbaz et al., ). t was a new recordfor the flora of urkey. he species has a wide range of distribution including raq, ranscaucasia, ran,

fghanistan, and akistan.Malcolmia intermedia C. . ey., Verz. flanz. Cauc.:
