Notes

• Described from Karaman Province, southern Turkey. Sometimes treated at the rank of subspecies, but differences from typical subsp. nigra var. nigra (Austria, Balkans) small and inconsistent, with no significant differences in ecology or climatic adaptation. Differs from it and from var. pallasiana (Crimea) in cones yellower at maturity and on average slightly shorter leaves (Güner, A. et al., eds. 2000).
