First Record Of The Genus Diarthrodella Klie, 1949 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Paramesochridae) From The Mediterranean Sea, With Description Of A New Species From Turkey, Serdar Sönmez, Suphan Karaytuğ, Serdar Sak
Turkish Journal of Zoology
Both sexes of Diarthrodella ergeneae sp. nov. (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Paramesochridae), which were collected from the intertidal zone of Kurtpınarı Beach along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, are described in detail. The new species is morphologically most similar to D. convexa Kunz, 1981; D. secunda secunda Kunz, 1954; and D. lancifera Kunz, 1981 according to the setal formula of the swimming legs, but D. ergeneae sp. nov. can easily be differentiated from D. convexa by the ratio of P1 exopod/enp-1, by the lack of an inner seta on P2 enp-2, and by the shape and armature of P5; from D. secunda …

Phylogeny And Systematics Of The Western Mediterranean Vella Pseudocytisus-V. Aspera Complex (Brassicaceae), Violeta I. Simón-Porcar, Ernesto Perez-Collazos, Pilar Catalan
Turkish Journal of Botany
The evolution and taxonomy of the core members of subtribe Vellinae (Brassicaceae), comprising Vella aspera, V. Bourgeana, and V. Pseudocytisus, is still poorly known. We reconstructed the evolutionary relationships among these taxa and other Vellinae and close Brassicaceae using nuclear ITS and plastid trnTF phylogenies, and analyzed the phenotypic traits that differentiate the infraspecific ranks of V. Pseudocytisus. Our phylogenetic analyses show: i) an early divergence of Succowia within the Brassiceae-Sisymbrieae sensu lato clade; ii) the nested positions of Vella bourgeana (syn. Euzomodendron bourgaeanum) and V. Aspera (syn. Boleum asperum) within the Vella clade; and iii) the split of 5 …

Taxonomic Revision Of The Genus Poa L. In Iran, New Additions To Flora Iranica, And A New Identification Key, Mahsa Kavousi, Mostafa Assadi, Taher Nejadsattari
Turkish Journal of Botany
In this study, an identification key of Poa L. species in Iran and descriptions of all species are presented. Based on the results, 19 species and 4 subspecies of Poa are known from Iran. Two species, P. longifolia Trin. and P. sterilis M.Bieb., are new records for the flora of Iran. Some taxa such as P. versicolor Besser. subsp. araratica (Trautv.) Tzvelev and P. bactriana Roshev. subsp. glabriflora (Roshev. ex Ovcz.) Tzvelev were placed as subspecies. Poa supina Schrad. and P. aitchisonii Boiss. were not confirmed to occur in Iran since they were observed neither among the herbarium specimens nor …

Paracaryum Bingoelianum (Boraginaceae), A New Species From Turkey, Lütfi̇ Behçet, Ahmet İlçi̇m
Turkish Journal of Botany
Paracaryum bingoelianum Behçet & İlçim is described as a new species. It is confined to Bingöl in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Paracaryum bingoelianum is closely similar to P. cristatum subsp. cristatum and P. kurdistanicum. It mainly differs from them in that it has a shrub-like woody base and numerous stems with sterile shoots, longer corolla, and bigger nutlets. The diagnostic characters are discussed and taxonomic comments are presented. Seed and pollen characteristics were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Notes on its ecology are also presented. A distribution map of the new and related species is provided.
Prosthechea Tinukiana Sp. Nov. (Orchidaceae: Laeliinae): An Update Of The Prosthechea Prismatocarpa Complex, Diego Bogarin, Adam P. Karremans
Prosthechea Tinukiana Sp. Nov. (Orchidaceae: Laeliinae): An Update Of The Prosthechea Prismatocarpa Complex, Diego Bogarin, Adam P. Karremans
Turkish Journal of Botany
We describe and illustrate a new species of Prosthechea from Costa Rica. The species is similar to Prosthechea ionocentra, but it is easily distinguishable by its inflorescence originating from the penultimate mature pseudobulb; its purple spotted sepals and petals; the cordate, acute labellum; the disc with two longer, narrower keels; the stigmatic arms of the column, which are convergent and rounded; and the narrower stigma. Differences from other related species are given and discussed. Data on distribution, habitat and ecology, etymology, and phenology are provided. An updated key to the species of the Prosthechea prismatocarpa complex is presented.
Flow Cytometric Estimation Of The Nuclear Genome Size Of 22 Echinops (Asteraceae) Taxa From Turkey, Handan Şapci, Monika Rewers, Cem Vural, Elwira Sliwinska
Flow Cytometric Estimation Of The Nuclear Genome Size Of 22 Echinops (Asteraceae) Taxa From Turkey, Handan Şapci, Monika Rewers, Cem Vural, Elwira Sliwinska
Turkish Journal of Botany
Taxonomic classification of the genus Echinops (Asteraceae) is still unclear, mostly because of the small morphological differences between the species. Estimation of genome size is helpful in species identification and in establishing a relationship between them; however, nuclear DNA content has been established for only 25% of known Echinops species. In the present study, in addition to the chromosome number, the DNA content of species in 22 taxa belonging to 3 sections (Echinops, Oligolepis, and Ritropsis) was estimated using flow cytometry; 9 of the species are endemic to Turkey. For 16 of the species this is the first report on …

Turkish Journal of Botany
Aristolochia altanii İlçim and Behçet sp. Nov. İs described from Turkey and illustrated. The specimens were collected from Kahramanmaraş in South Anatolia. The new species is closely related to A. Guichardii and A. Brevilabris. However, this species differs in some important characteristics, such as the length of the pedicel and the perianth, the indument of the perianth limb, and the micromorphology of the pollen and the seeds. The diagnostic characters are discussed and taxonomic comments are presented.

Taxonomic And Nomenclatural Contributions To Pyrus L. (Rosaceae) From Turkey, Zübeyde Uğurlu Aydin, Ali̇ Aslan Dönmez
Turkish Journal of Botany
This paper presents a taxonomic contribution to the genus Pyrus L. P. Georgica and P. Pseudosyriaca are reported from Turkey for the first time. The status of P. Pseudosyriaca is discussed and it is treated as a new variety of Pyrus syriaca. Notes on the chorology, morphological descriptions, figures, and taxonomy are provided. Moreover, P. Serikensis and P. Boissieriana are reduced to synonyms of P. Cordata. An endemic subspecies, P. Elaeagrifolia subsp. Kotschyana, is compared with the related species P. Elaeagrifolia and it is reassessed at the species level based on morphology and distribution. With these changes, Pyrus is represented …
