Echinops dumanii C.Vural is described and illustrated from Adana province, South Anatolia, Turkey. It is considered to be endemic to Turkey. The morphological differences from the closely related species Echinops phaeocephalus Hand.-Mazz. are discussed. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat category and observations on the ecology of the populations are noted. The geographical distribution of the new species is mapped.


Morphological Character Analysis In Turkish Micromeria Benth. (Lamiaceae) Species With A Numerical Taxonomic Study, Turan Arabaci, Tuncay Di̇rmenci̇, Ferhat Celep Jan 2010

Morphological Character Analysis In Turkish Micromeria Benth. (Lamiaceae) Species With A Numerical Taxonomic Study, Turan Arabaci, Tuncay Di̇rmenci̇, Ferhat Celep

Turkish Journal of Botany

As an initial part of a revisional study based on the genus Micromeria Benth. (Lamiaceae), extensive field studies, herbarium and literature surveys, and multivariate analysis have been conducted. Recently, many morphological and molecular studies have been conducted on the genus Micromeria and related genera. Consequently, the generic boundaries of Micromeria have dramatically changed. Therefore, a morphometric analysis was carried out on Turkish Micromeria s.l. species, belonging to sect. Micromeria, sect. Cymularia Boiss., and sect. Pseudomelissa Benth., 2 Clinopodium L. species, and 2 Mentha L. species in order to understand their taxonomic relationship. For morphometric analysis, 27 morphological characters and their …

A Taxonomic Revision Of Salvia Euphratica Sensu Lato And Its Closely Related Species (Sect. Hymenosphace, Lamiaceae) Using Multivariate Analysis, Ahmet Kahraman, Ferhat Celep, Musa Doğan, Safi Bagherpour

Turkish Journal of Botany

As an initial part of a revisional study based on the genus Salvia L. (Lamiaceae), extensive field studies, herbarium and literature surveys, and multivariate analysis have been conducted on the basis of the Salvia euphratica sensu lato (S. cerino-pruinosa, S. euphratica, S. leiocalycina, and S. pseudeuphratica) and its closely related species (S. kronenburgii and S. sericeo-tomentosa) in order to understand their taxonomic status. For the multivariate analysis, 35 OTUs (Operational Taxonomic Units) representing 24 populations of the species were investigated and scored on the basis of 25 character states by means of MVSP software. Principle coordinate analysis (PCO) utilizing the …


Taxonomy Of Campanula Tomentosa Lam. And C. Vardariana Bocquet From Turkey, Emi̇ne Alçitepe, Kemal Yildiz Jan 2010

Taxonomy Of Campanula Tomentosa Lam. And C. Vardariana Bocquet From Turkey, Emi̇ne Alçitepe, Kemal Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Botany

The taxonomical status of Campanula tomentosa Lam. and C. vardariana Bocquet, belonging to the section Quinqueloculares (Boiss.) Phitos, which have important taxonomical problems, was reviewed in this study. Furthermore, morphological, anatomical leaf surface, and palynological features of these 2 species were examined in detail. Habit, shape of leaves, calyx, corolla, stamen, pistil, and seed micromorphological features as morphological characters; and pollen diameter, pore diameter, spinule length, and number, ornamentation, etc. as palynological characters, were examined and discussed. An identification key for the species is presented according to the results obtained. Following this extensive study, the mentioned problems of C. tomentosa …
