Eryngium pseudothorifolium, in Turkish yalancı boğadikeni [2], is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae endemic to SW Turkey.
Description and Habitat
An Eryngo with single upright stem based with roundish, shield-like, saw-toothed greyish leaves and some smaller ones up the stem, flowering with 1-3 yellowy-green flower heads. Photos.
It naturally grows on marly soil, and apart from Eryngium thorifolium lacks close allies [3].
It may be confused with Eryngium thorifolium [4], whose leaves are rounder-topped and much more indented at the base, with many more flower heads on some branches, and which grows on rocky serpentine soil; and also with species of Pimpinella such as Pimpinella flabellifolia.
Distribution
It is native to Turkey only [1], in the far south-west [2].
