03F587A8325CFFC8FF5BF8346FC55CDD.taxon	description	In 2013 in Afghanistan we collected two geographically close gatherings of B. aitchisonii (Badakhshan, basin of the Pyandj River, on the way to Lake Shewa, above Gardzhwin village alt. = 3,140 m, spiny herb vegetation with dominance of Cousinia semilacera. 37 º 27, 43 ’ N, 71 º 24,22 ’ E, N 62; ibid, descent to Lake Shewa, h = 3300 m, 37 º 25,14 ’ N, 71 º 20. 41 ’ E, N 72, MW!), completely corresponding to the type collection (N 929) of the species, and clearly different in stem leaf form and number, subequal umbels rays, almost sessile flowers and fruits from our and other herbarium collections from the Pamirs. We considered a possibility to attribute gatherings from the Pamirs to any other related species — B. atroviolaceum, B. rupestre, or B. gracillimum, but were forced to reject such possibility.	en	Pimenov, Michael G., Kljuykov, Eugene V.

Notes: — The majority of gatherings, labeled as B. aitchisonii from Tajikistan, belong to the new species, B. pamiricum, which is described in this article. The distribution of B. aitchisonii in Tajikistan is confirmed, however, by a specimen from Khorog herbarium (Tajikistan, Gorno-Badakhshan, Barvoz village, Shakhdara ridge, stony slope of NE exposition, alt. = 3800 m, 15 August 1974. Zaprjagaev & Dengubenko 556, KHOR!). 2. Bupleurum condensatum Shan Renhwa & Li Yin (1974: 279, tab. 56, fig. 1 – 9). Type: — CHINA. Qinghai: Gonghe Xian, Deheba, Yao ZhongWu 875 (holotype NAS). Low, slender herbs; stems numerous; all or the majority of leaves in basal rosette; leaf laminas narrowly lanceolate; bracts 5 – 6, linear; rays 4 – 7, 3 – 6 cm long, unequal; bracteoles 5, lanceolate; petals yellow to yellow-green; stylopods yellow or purplish; fruits 1.8 – 3.2 mm long, 1.8 – 2 mm broad; vallecular vittae solitary, commissural 2.

03F587A8325EFFCEFF5BF8976D505D49.taxon	distribution	Distribution: — China (Tibet: Xizang A. R.), Nepal, India (W Himalaya: Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh); Pakistan, Afghanistan (NE). Notes: — According to some authors, the species is distributed easternmost, up to SW China. Li Yin & Sheh Menglan (1979) and Sheh Menglan & Watson (2005) listed the species for Sichuan, but the plant, pictured in Li Yin & Sheh Menglan (1979: Fig 141) is not B. gracillimum Klotsch, but rather B. gracilipes Diels (1901: 493). Sheh Menglan & Watson (2005) indicate that the latter is a “ poorly known taxon recorded only from few collections ”, but we have found it be rather frequent in Sichuan, where we collected it several times. The indication of B. gracillimum for Bhutan (Mukherjee & Constance 1999; Watson 1999), as well as for Sikkim and Myanmar, is doubtful; however we have no reliable material of related Bupleurum species from these countries.	en	Pimenov, Michael G., Kljuykov, Eugene V.
