UDC 582.572.225:581.96(575.123)
Abstract
This article presents a description of the new endemic species Gagea namanganica Levichev et F. Karimov, which belongs to sect. Stipitatae (Pascher) Davlianidze of the genus Gagea Salisb., and outlines the characteristics of this section that distinguish it from other species. The new species differs from closely related species of the same subsection – G. ova Stapf, G. subtilis Vved., G. paniculata Levichev, G. × turanica Levichev – by its small flowers, the presence of a cavity in the upper half of the basal leaf, the narrowness of the lower leaf in the inflorescence, and a solitary bulb (not a group). It also differs from G. rubinae Ali by its long basal leaf. The species is described based on materials from the National Herbarium of Uzbekistan (TASH), collected during the 2012 field season in Uzbekistan (Fergana Valley).
