03A4BC71B73EFF97FF20F912C9BBF8F7.taxon	description	Mature plant: ― Annual, stem erect to ascending, branching from the base, up to 40 cm, densely villous, pale to greenish white in the young vegetative state, white, pale to lightly pinkish in flower, and sometimes reddish brown. Leaves alternate, ± fleshy, recurved in living plant, villous on both sides, reticulate veins slightly visible; cauline leaves linear to narrowly spatulate, 0.25 – 0.38 × 2.10 – 3.75 cm, apex acute, obtuse to rounded, sessile, leaves in branch junction smaller; floral leaves oblong to broadly elliptic, apex ± rounded; venation densely reticulate, with few space between two adjacent / parallel veins, tertiary veinlets not clearly visible. Inflorescence paniculate; flowers hermaphrodite, 1 - 2 (3) flowers in the base of floral leaves, enclosed in long white and woolly hairs; hairs smooth or with scattered, very tiny spine like projections (under high magnification); perianth connate to 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the length, with five dark green acute lobes, covered by long woolly hairs; style short with two long filiform papillose stigma; anthers exserted; perianth at fruiting time indurate, with five erect or slightly curved spiny outgrowths, (0.5 –) 1 – 1.5 (– 2) mm long; fruits hidden by woolly hairs; seeds rounded, symetrical, 1 - 1.6 mm, embryo horizontal, horse-shoe shaped. Fl. - Fr.: April-June. Typification: — The type specimen of K. eriophora was not indicated in the protologue and in subsequent references (e. g. Hedge 1997). The description of K. eriophora was based on a cultivated plant of unknown origin. In the herbarium of Göttingen (GOET), there is a specimen from the Fischer Herbarium annotated as K. eriophora. The hand-writing of its label is similar to that of A. H. Schrader (see Wagenitz 1982) and therefore can be chosen as the lectotype (Fig. 11). According to a personal communication by G. Wagenitz, cultivated specimens of Schrader are in the Fischer herbarium. Lobin (1999) reported that the type specimen of Bassia latifolia was probably lost; however, it was later found by A. N. Becker in Senckenberg (FR).	en	Akhani, Hossein, Khoshravesh, Roxana (2013): The relationship and different C Kranz anatomy of Bassia eriantha and Bassia eriophora, two often confused Irano-Turanian and Saharo-Sindian species.
