Autophagomyces, Bordea, And A New Genus, Rossiomyces, (Laboulbeniales), Richard K. Benjamin

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

A revision of Autophagomyces (Laboulbeniales) was made based on a comparative morphological study of new collections and 16 species included in the genus by Thaxter in the final volume of his monograph published in 1931 and by others more recently. The concept of Autophagomyces (species on Anthicidae, Phalacridae, and Scapidiidae [Coleoptera]) was narrowed and comprises 12 species, four of them new, i.e., A. hammondii, A. mexicanus, A. protuberans, and A. ramosus. The genus Bordea (species on Pselaphinae, Staphylinidae [Coleopteraj), which had been included in Autophagomyces by Thaxter, was reinstated and comprises 14 species, seven new, i.e., …

An Investigation On Chrozophora Tinctoria (L.) Rafin. Distributed In Westanatolia, Süleyman Başlar

Turkish Journal of Botany

The morphological characteristics of the root, stem, leaf, flower, seed and fruit of Chrozophora tinctoria (L.) Rafin. (Euphorbiaceae) distributed in West Anatolia were determined, and biometric measurements were taken from samples collected from 42 different localities. This plant is a monoecious, annual herb, 28-63.50 cm. and stellate hairy. Its leaves are alternate and their shapes vary from rombic-ovate to ovate-lanceolate. The leaves are bifacial and amphistomatous. Their stomatas are of the amaryllis and parasitic types. The development of the root, stem, and leaves of the plant were observed when grown under various fertilizer, soil, lime and watering conditions, and their …

Morphological And Anatomical Studies On Cyclotrichium Origanifolium(Labill.) Manden. & Scheng. ( Labiatae), Ayla Kaya, Kemal H. C. Başer, Fati̇h Satil, Gülendam Tümen

Turkish Journal of Botany

Morphological and anatomical features of Cyclotrichium origanifolium (Labill.) Manden. & Scheng. (Labiatae) collected from various localities in Turkey are described and discussed. Anatomical studies include transverse sections of stems and leaves with illustrations. Although some morphological variation was observed there was no anatomical variation in the wide range of specimens studied, from different areas of Turkey.

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this survey, 17 adult (3 , 14 ) Rana ridibunda specimens were investigated morphologically. The morphological characteristics of the Işıklı Lake specimens are in accordance with those given for R. r. caralitana (1). Furthermore, the distribution range of R. r. caralitana has now been extended.


Two New Localities For Lacerta Sicula Hieroglyphicaberthold, 1842 (Reptilia, Lacertidae), İsmai̇l Hakki Uğurtaş, Hi̇kmet Sami̇ Yildirimhan, Mehmet Öz Jan 2000

Two New Localities For Lacerta Sicula Hieroglyphicaberthold, 1842 (Reptilia, Lacertidae), İsmai̇l Hakki Uğurtaş, Hi̇kmet Sami̇ Yildirimhan, Mehmet Öz

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, we describe 13 Lacerta sicula hieroglyphica collected from the centre of Bursa and ‚Çakırca, a village about 10 km west of Iznik. The specimens, including their habitat characteristics and distribution, are described. This subspecies is known to live on islands in the Marmara Sea and in Istanbul. This is the first report of L. s. hieroglyphica from Bursa and ‚Çakırca village and therefore its distributional range is being extended to the south of the Marmara Sea.
