Fam: Asteraceae (Compositae)
Genus: Achillea L.
Species: Achillea multifida (DC.) Griseb.
English Name: not found a common nameDescription: Perennial plant with a characteristic intense odor. Rhizome thin, cylindrical, ascending or horizontally branched, with numerous roots. Stems ascending or erect, (5) 10 - 20 (30) cm tall, round, green, finely longitudinally ribbed, simple, spreading and close-fitting fibrous. Leaves with sparse to densely spreading white simple hairs; basal oblong, (10) 30 - 40 mm long and 8 - 10 mm wide, double to triple pinnate; shares 4 - 10, lance, pointed, little shares (1) 2 - 3 (5) mm long and 0.2 - 0.5 mm wide; stem similar, few in number, crushing. Baskets ovate-hemispherical, 2 - 10 at the tips of the branches, 8 - 10 mm in diameter, on long white woolly, 3 - 15 mm long petioles, forming a top thyroid complex inflorescence; shell 5 - 7 mm wide, conically convex at the base, the leaflets greenish, ovate-elliptic to lance, blunt at the tip, with a wide (up to 0.5 mm) membranous, dark brown edge, on the back with sparse white long hairs to naked; outer slightly shorter and narrower than middle and inner, keeled, with a convex midrib. The external 6 - 8 (10) flowers are tongue, the tongue flowers are white, 2.5 - 3 mm long, broadly elliptical, on the top rounded in three-part; internal numerous, tubular, yellow, the wreath glandular spotted. Flower bed spherical conical, mesh of pits; bracts broadly membranous, slightly keeled, yellow-greenish, brown on top. Fruits oblong-elliptic, brownish, 1 mm long, barely winged at the edge.
N o t e:
A. multifida is described by Northwestern Anatolia (Bitinski Olympus, Uludag). Velenovsky (1891), Stoyanov and Stefanov (1925) and later Bulgarian authors refer to this species the close morphologically populations distributed in our country and in the southeastern parts of the Balkan Peninsula. Morphologically close to A. multifida is A. clusiana, distributed in the karst regions of the Austrian Alps. Probably for this reason Richardson (1976) treats A. clusiana in a wider taxonomic range and refers to it the Balkan populations previously associated with A. multifida. Perhaps influenced by this decision, Franzen (1991) refers A. multifida to the synonymy of A. clusiana. Recent studies of the group A. multifida - A. clusiana give grounds to perceive the species independence of these two taxa, A. multifida with range in Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, North. Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, east to the Northwest. Anatolia and A. clusiana s. p. with limited distribution in the Northeastern Alps. Preliminary molecular and comparative morphological studies support this decision (cf. Saukel et al. 2003).The two species, as well as the nearby A. atrata L. with a limited area in the Alps, are allopatric, vicarious in the high mountain areas of the Alpine and Balkan mountain systems, east to Asia Minor. They are probably of common origin and are treated by some authors (Heimerl, I.e. and Hayek I.e.) as a species with geographical races with the rank of subspecies.
