Class:angiosperms
Order:Sapindales
Family:Biebersteiniaceae
Genus:Biebersteinia
Scientific name: Biebersteinia odora Steph.
Name acc. to:Gubanov 1996
Herbar:list records    scans available    
Synonym: Geraniaceae B. odora Steph. (acc. to Grubov 1982)
Description:Strongly glandular fragrant dwarf semishrub, 10-30 cm high. Leaves linear-lanceolate, 1-pinnatisect with obtuse lobes. Flowers regular yellow in few flowered dense racemes. Fruits without beak.
Confuse with:No near relatives due to monotypic state in Mongolia.
Comments:All species of Biebersteinia possess a characteristic odour and are viscid to the touch. They all have medicinal properties and are used by the local people to some degree. Biebersteinia had traditionally been placed in the Geraniaceae, but there is now ample, mainly molecular, evidence that it comprises a separate family in the order Sapindales.

Smell & Touch: (i)General appearance of the plant.odor (i)Plant with an obvious scent
fragrant (i)Scent, which is pleasant
Size of plant: (i)Attention: use flowering or fruiting specimens to assess plant height (many biennial plants possess only a basal rosette in the first year). from 100 mm to 250 mm
from 250 mm to 600 mm
Parasite status: (i)Is the plant a half- or full parasite?no parasite/saprophyte (i)Plant fully autonomous, leaves with chlorophyll

Simple or divided leaves: (i)Are the leaves simple or completely divided in several parts? Blade of the leaf entire or (more or less) deeply dissected. Attention: There are various appearances of the leaf margin (from entire to toothed and lobed). Here, we ignore this and ask only for dissections that separate the leaf for more than one third of its length or width, whatever is smaller. Sometimes, it is difficult to tell apart compound leaves from a shoot system with simple leaves: look for stipulae and/or axillary buds at the ground of the leaves: if only some possess these structures, the others are most likely leaflets of a compound leaf.compound (i)Composed of several similar parts

If flowers vary, record the characters of the most showy flowers.double, different (i)Two types of perianth leaves, differently coloured (sepals: outer periant leaves, usually greenish, and petals: inner perianth leaves, usually coloured)
example: Parnassia

Fruit (i)the seed bearing organ, with or without adnate parts; a ripened ovary and any other structures which are attached and ripen with it. Aggregate fruits are handled like simple fruits for determination.
