TAXONOMIC NOTES

Echinops dissectus is morphologically similar to E. ritro L., which is known to occur in Mongolia. E. dissectus plants are taller than E. ritro , reaching up to 2 m tall, with simple stems, larger pseudocephalia (5-6 cm) in diam, and paper-thin leaves, but E. ritro stems are solitary or tufted, unbranched or apically branched, and pseudocephalia are 3.5-4.5 cm in diam, leaf mostly leathery.
