Achillea tianschanica Kupr. et Kulemin - a new species from Western Tien Shan and Syrdarya Karatau, Kazakhstan
A new species - Achillea tianschanica Kupr. et Kulemin from Syrdarya Karatau and Western Tien Shan (South Kazakhstan) is described. The protologue with the indication of holotype, affinity, and geographic distribution is given. The new species is close to A. setacea Waldst. et Kit. but clearly differs by the larger flat inflorescences, a greater distance between the primary segments of the lower and middle cauline leaves, the thicker chondroid cusps of 1-2 mm long at the tip of the leaf lobules, and the taller stems. The DNA analysis carried out using ISSR method showed isolation of A. tianschanica from other species of the genus Achillea presented in Kazakhstan.
