A. tripolium L., Sp. PL 872 (1753). Syn: Tripolium vulgare Nees, Gen. Sp. Aster 153 (1832). Ic: Hegi, 111. Fl. Mittel-Eur. 6(1): t. 259 f. 4 (1916).   Biennial or short-lived perennial, 15-60 cm. Stems erect or ascending, glabrous or subglabrous, often reddish, usually branched from base. Leaves glabrous or finely ciliate; basal leaves lanceolate, 40-120x5-10 mm, narrowed at base and semi-amplexicaul; median and upper leaves linear-lanceolate, up to 65 x 10 mm, sessile. Capitula few or numerous in loose corymbs. Involucre 0.75-1 cm broad; phyllaries 2-3(-4)-seriate, oblong-linear, 6-8 x 2-3 mm, obtuse, glabrous. Ray flowers 15-30, ligules lavender-blue, 4.5-6.5 x 1-2.5 mm. Disc flowers 5-6 mm. Achenes 3-4.5 mm, usually with a few hairs at base. Pappus 1-seriate, whitish, accrescent, up to 12 mm at maturity. Fl. 6-9. Sandy sea shores and brackish maritime marshes.   Described from the coast of Europe and salt lakes of Siberia.   N. Turkey, W. Anatolia & Islands, very local.

Is: Lesvos, Cand.; Rodhos, between Rodino and Cattavia, Semi.   Temperate Eurasia (on sea coasts and inland saltmarshes) eastwards to Japan, N. America; Algeria, Palestine, N. Iran, Iraq. Euro-Sib, element. An unlocalized collection from 'Armenia' by Calvert & Zohrab appears to represent a variety of this species. Its leaves, particularly the basal ones, have ciliate margins and pubescent midribs, and the phyllaries are 4-seriate, narrower and ciliate, 1-1.75 mm broad. This specimen approximates to var. pannonicus (Jacq.) Sadler so far as pubescence is concerned, but lacks the purplish phyllaries of this variety which does not have 4-seriate phyllaries.
