A New Record For The Flora Of Turkey: Ambrosia Tenuifolia Spreng. (Compositae), Lütfi̇ Behçet
A New Record For The Flora Of Turkey: Ambrosia Tenuifolia Spreng. (Compositae), Lütfi̇ Behçet
Turkish Journal of Botany
Ambrosia tenuifolia Spreng. (Compositae) is a new addition to the flora of Turkey from Malatya (in the East Anatolia region). The specimens collected from Malatya have different properties from the known diagnostic characteristics of the species. A. tenuifolia is a monoecious plant without glands. Its female capitula are in the axils of the upper leaves in its original description, but some of our specimens have only female capitula (female capitula in terminal racemes and lower parts of the racemes bracteate, but upper parts ebracteate) and there are many glands particularly on the tops of their fruits. The diagnostic characteristics, ecology …

Ecological Wood Anatomy Of Turkish Rhododendron L. (Ericaceae). Intraspecific Variation, Nesi̇me Merev, Hakki Yavuz
Ecological Wood Anatomy Of Turkish Rhododendron L. (Ericaceae). Intraspecific Variation, Nesi̇me Merev, Hakki Yavuz
Turkish Journal of Botany
The intraspecific relationships of selected wood anatomical characters such as altitude, stem diameter, stem age and average annual ring width were investigated in five different Turkish Rhododendron L. species. Rhododendron luteumSweet. grows at an altitude of 110 to 2230 m, R. ungerniiTrautv. 900 to 2020 m, R. smirnoviiTrautv. 1600 to 2230 m, R. caucasicumPallas 1900 to 3100 m, and R. ponticumL. from sea level to 2230 m in the Eastern Black Sea Region. Although the degree of significance varies between species, correlation and multiple regression analysis indicated a significant correlation between wood anatomical characters and non-anatomical factors.
