A New Species Of Cyathus (Agaricaceae) From India, Kanad Das, Manoj Emanuel Hembrom, Arvind Parihar, Rui Lin Zhao
Turkish Journal of Botany
The Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden is a well-known botanical garden. Cyathus thindii, a new species of bird's nest fungus, was collected from this garden, and is described and illustrated in the present paper. It is distinct with its sessile basidiomata growing on a white mycelial pad, plicate exterior (partly) and interior wall of the peridium, comparatively large peridioles without tunica, and medium sized spores. Its relation with allied taxa is discussed and a provisional key to the Indian species of Cyathus is given in the present paper.

New Species And A Synonym Of The Genus Hesperis (Brassicaceae) From Turkey, Ahmet Duran, Özlem Çeti̇n
Turkish Journal of Botany
Hesperis tosyaensis A.Duran, a new species from northern Anatolia, is described and illustrated. It grows under open Quercus forest. The new species is distinct from the closely allied H. Ozcelikii A.Duran by the following features: stem erect, 45-90 cm tall, hispid, hairs 2-2.5 mm, and fruit glabrous. Genetic differentiation between closely related Hesperis L. Taxa and Matthiola W.T.Aiton was examined by molecular analyses of the ISSR. The chromosome number for Hesperis tosyaensis is 2n = 14. Information is also presented on its ecology and conservation status. In addition, Hesperis aspera E.Fourn. İs treated as a synonym of Hesperis bicuspidata (Willd.) …

Dichoropetalum Alanyensis (Apiaceae), A New Species From South Anatolia, Turkey, Bi̇lgehan Bi̇lgi̇li̇, Mehmet Sağiroğlu, Meryem Şeker, Hayri̇ Duman
Turkish Journal of Botany
Dichoropetalum alanyensis Bilgili, Sağıroğlu and H.Duman, a new species from South Anatolia in Turkey (Antalya-Alanya), is described and illustrated. It is closely related to D. Chryseum (Boiss. And Heldr. Ex Boiss.) Pimenov and Kljuykov, from which it differs mainly by its habit, basal leaves and lobes, and mericarp features. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed. Notes are also given on its ecology and conservation status, together with scanning electron micrographs of mericarp surface sculpturing pattern. ITS sequences were used for DNA fingerprinting. The data were analyzed with the SEAVIEW package. Standardized data were used to generate a dendrogram that revealed the …
Tulostoma Ahmadii Sp. Nov. And T. Squamosum From Pakistan, Shah Hussain, Nousheen Yousaf, Najam-Ul-Sehar Afshan, Abdul Rehman Niazi, Habib Ahmad, Abdul Nasir Khalid
Tulostoma Ahmadii Sp. Nov. And T. Squamosum From Pakistan, Shah Hussain, Nousheen Yousaf, Najam-Ul-Sehar Afshan, Abdul Rehman Niazi, Habib Ahmad, Abdul Nasir Khalid
Turkish Journal of Botany
Tulostoma ahmadii, a new species found in the subtropical pine forest of Malakand, Pakistan, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by parallel to squamulose deep reddish brown scales on stipe with bulbous base, warty exoperidium, and tubular and relatively large-sized basidiospores. Macro- and microscopic features along with sequence data demonstrated that Tulostoma ahmadii is a distinct species from other members of Tulostoma. T. Squamosum, which is represented here as a new record for the country, has also been characterized on a molecular basis.

Two New Achillea L. (Asteraceae) Species From Turkey, Zeki̇ Aytaç, Hayri̇ Duman, Murat Eki̇ci̇
Turkish Journal of Botany
Two new Achillea species, Achillea adenii Aytaç & M.Ekici and Achillea baltai H.Duman & Aytaç sp. nov. of sect. Santolinoidea DC. (Asteraceae), are described and illustrated as new species. A. adenii grows at Babadağ in Muğla Province (southwestern Anatolia), while A. baltai grows at Aladağlar in Niğde Province. Diagnostic morphological characters, which are useful in discriminating the two new species from their close relatives, A. sintenisii Hub.-Mor., A. sipikorensis Hausskn. & Bornm., and A. armenorum Boiss. & Hausskn., are presented. Some notes on the ecology, pollen and seed morphology, conservation status, and distributions of the new species and a key …

A New Species Of Plectranthus (Lamiaceae) From Saudi Arabia, Kadry Abdel Khalik
Turkish Journal of Botany
Plectranthus hijazensis Abdel Khalik (Lamiaceae) is described as a new species from Al-Baha Province in Saudi Arabia. Information given on the new species includes a taxonomic description and its affinity to Plectranthus asirensis L. A key to Plectranthus species of Saudi Arabia is provided, and the relationships of the species and the relevant morphological characters, particularly seed, pollen grains, trichomes, and anatomy of stem and leaf, are discussed. A distribution map of the new species and related species is provided.
