Taxonomical And Chorological Notes On The Turkish Endemic Scorzonera Amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. (Asteraceae), Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Yavuz Bağci Jan 2009

Taxonomical And Chorological Notes On The Turkish Endemic Scorzonera Amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. (Asteraceae), Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Yavuz Bağci

Turkish Journal of Botany

Scorzonera amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. is a stenoendemic species known from a few localities in Amasya Province. After the rediscovery of S. amasiana, it has been recorded from a new locality in Amasya. Using chorological and ecological data, morphological study of the collected specimens suggest that the recently described Scorzonera ekimii A.Duran is synonymous with S. amasiana. The conservation status of S. amasiana is also reviewed, based on the present distribution data.

Macrofungi samples were collected from Huzurlu high plateau and its surroundings between 2002 and 2005. As a result of macroscopic and microscopic investigations 105 taxa belonging to 67 genera and 33 families were recorded in Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes classes. Six of them, Phaeohelotium umbilicatum (Le Gal) Dennis, Lepiota jacobi Vellinga & Knudsen, Leucoagaricus erioderma (Malençon) Bon, Leucoagaricus serenus (Fr.) Bon & Boiffard, Cortinarius turgidus Fr., and Cotylidia diaphana (Schwein.) Lentz, are new records for the macromycota of Turkey.
