Mandragora turcomanica

Description

Mandragora turcomanica, the Turkmenian mandrake, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, native to the Kopet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan and one location in neighbouring Iran. It differs from the mandrakes found around the Mediterranean ( Mandragora autumnalis and/or Mandragora officinarum) chiefly by being larger.
