Dichoropetalum alanyensis (Apiaceae), a new species from South Anatolia, Turkey

Abstract

and herbarium surveys (ANK, HUB, GAZI, E), we decided that the specimens should be evaluated as a new species under the genus Dichoropetalum based on the taxonomic treatment of Pimenov et al. (2007). The aim of this study is to describe a new Dichoropetalum species based on morphology, ecology, mericarp micromorphology, and molecular phylogenetic data. 2. Materials and methods In the description below, each numerical value is the range from ten measurements from different specimens. The specimens of Dichoropetalum alanyensis were examined Abstract: Dichoropetalum alanyensis Bilgili, Sağıroğlu & H.Duman, a new species from South Anatolia in Turkey (Antalya-Alanya), is described and illustrated. It is closely related to D. chryseum (Boiss. & Heldr. ex Boiss.) Pimenov & 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 phylogenetic relationships of taxa in tribes Selineae (Dichoropetalum-Johrenia), Tordylieae (Cymbocarpum), and Bupleureae (Diplotaenia) from different localities.

Morphology of pollen in Ferula genus (Apiaceae)

“…The largest centere of biodiversity for this family in Asian countries is Turkey, with about 160 endemic species included in 44 genera (Bilgili et al 2016). These family members are of considerable economic importance as food, flavouring and ornamental plants.…”

Ekimia ozcan-secmenii (Apiaceae), a new species from Southwest Anatolia, Turkey

“…Apiaceae is one of the largest plant families in the world. Turkey is one of the largest centers of biodiversity for the family among Asian countries, with about 160 endemic species included in 44 genera (Bilgili et al, 2016). The flora of Turkey consists of 19 monotypic endemic genera (Pimenov and Leonov, 1993;Güner et al, 2012;Vural et al, 2012;Uysal et al, 2014).…”
