Abstract:Cuminum borszczowii (Regel et Schmalh.) Koso-Pol. is reported for the first time in China. It is similar to C. cyminum, but differs from the latter by having broadly lanceolate bracts, with wide membranous margins and mericarps covered with densely irregular long hairs. A detailed morphological description and photos of this species are given. Voucher specimens are deposited in the Herbarium of Xinjiang Agricultural University (XJA) and the Herbarium of the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences (XJBI).
