Pollen And Seed Morphology Of The Genus Hesperis L. (Brassicaceae) In Turkey, Münevver Pinar, Ahmet Duran, Tali̇p Çeter, G. Ni̇lhan Tuğ
Turkish Journal of Botany
Pollen and seed morphology were examined in 35 specimens representing 25 Turkish species of the taxonomically complex genus Hesperis L. by light and scanning electron microscopes. Three main types and 2 subtypes were recognized based on the seed coat surface, pollen shape, and exine sculpturing. The seed coat ornamentation of Type I was ocellate, and pollen shape was oblate-spheroidal. While Type II was represented by reticulate seed coat and prolate-spheroidal pollen shape, Type III had tuberculate seed coat. This study revealed that both palynological and seed morphological characters are of significant importance in the taxonomy of the genus.

Taxonomical And Chorological Notes On The Turkish Endemic Scorzonera Amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. (Asteraceae), Muhi̇tti̇n Di̇nç, Yavuz Bağci
Turkish Journal of Botany
Scorzonera amasiana Hausskn. & Bornm. is a stenoendemic species known from a few localities in Amasya Province. After the rediscovery of S. amasiana, it has been recorded from a new locality in Amasya. Using chorological and ecological data, morphological study of the collected specimens suggest that the recently described Scorzonera ekimii A.Duran is synonymous with S. amasiana. The conservation status of S. amasiana is also reviewed, based on the present distribution data.
