Type.

Based on Convolvulus compactus Boiss.,

Distinguishing features.

Leaves obovate to narrowly linear-oblanceolate, hairs strongly appressed, sometimes sericeous and clearly differentiated from the spreading hairs of the calyx. [ Sa’ad 1967: 140; Polunin 1980 (Plate 35)]

Distribution.

Balkan peninsular and Turkey: Croatia (Botteri s.n.); Albania (Alston & Sandwith 2154); Montenegro; Macedonia (?); Bulgaria (?); Greece (Rechinger 9545, Guicciardi 2963); Turkey (Balansa 1168, Dudley 37177, Davis 21878, Post 528).

Notes.

Subsp. compactus is very variable in leaf shape, plants with almost linear leaves from Turkey such as Balls 1366 fit the type of Convolvulus konyacus , but this only seems to be one extreme in the range of variation.
