In regione Astrachanensi, Blume, Introduction During floristic investigations, the authors collected some Lepidium L. specimens from around Kırmızı Tuzla (Mufl). Further studies on the specimen inferred that it is closely related to L. ruderale L. given by Hedge in the Flora of Turkey (1965). There were some discrepancies (., pubescent pedicel, basal leaves, and fruit apex) between the description and the specimens (Figure 1); hence it was compared with the Lepidium account in Flora Iranica (Hedge, 1968). Eventually, using the generic account in Flora Iranica (Hedge, 1968), Flora Europaea (Vasconcellos, 1964), and Flora of the USSR (Busch, 1970), the specimens were identified as Lepidium pinnatifidum Ledeb. It was a new record for the flora of Turkey. This record is not surprising since this species also grows in nearby Iran and the Caucasus. Lepidium pinnatifidum Ledeb, Fl.
