Stachys buttleri is a species of flower in the Woundwort family endemic to in Turkey growing on a single rock face in Antalya.
Description
Stachys buttleri R.R.Mill is a perennial herb with fragile stems growing on the western calcareous rock face at the Upper Düden Waterfalls (Yukarı Düden Şelalesi) in Antalya, some 9 km NNE of the old city centre, 40-90 m above sea level.
It is a very finely long-hairy plant, with large, oval, broad-toothed leaves, and with medium-spaced (1-4 cm apart) whorls of white flowers set along flowering stems that tend to hang downwards. There are mostly 2 flowers per whorl, which distinguishes it from the similar Stachys pinardii nearby which generally has 4 or more per whorl.
As a plant growing just on one rock face, it is classed as CR (Critical).
Photographic details can be seen on iNaturalist.
The species is named after Dr K. P. Buttler, its discoverer and a notable collector of the Turkish flora.
