1. E. caucasicus Steven , Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscou 4: 251 (1832)
( E. spectabilis Bieb. pro parte).
Stem 100-200 cm. Leaves 15-40 cm x 15-70 mm, suberect and somewhat canaliculate, glaucous. Raceme 25-70x5-8 cm; pedicels longer than the linear bracts, deflexed in fruit. Perianth-segments 8-10 mm, pale yellow. Stamens 15-18 mm; anthers reddish-orange. Style arcuate-deflexed. Capsule c. 12 mm, globose. Seeds acutely triquetrous, transversely rugulose, brown, concolorous or with slightly darker streaks. Stony slopes and steppes. S. Ukraine. Rs (K, E). (S.W. & S.C. Asia.)
The European populations have been separated as E. thiodanthus Juz., Not. Syst. (Leningrad) 14: 5 (1951), and E. jungei Juz., op. cit. 7 (1951); but the rather inadequate descriptions suggest, especially in view of the considerable variability among Asiatic populations of E. caucasicus , that they are only varietally distinct.
