Syntrichia minor (Pottiaceae) and Cephaloziella integerrima (Cephaloziellaceae) new to bryophyte flora of Turkey

Abstract

Syntrichia minor (Bizot) M.T. Gallego, J. Guerra, M.J. Cano, Ros & S?nchez-Moya (Pottiaceae, Bryophyta - mosses) and Cephaloziella integerrima (Lindb.) Warnst. (Cephaloziellaceae, Marchantiophyta - liverworts) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. In addition, the rare C. integerrima is new to Southwest Asia. These species were collected from the northern part of Turkey, respectively Karab?k (Safranbolu) and Kastamonu (Bozkurt). Site description, synonyms, illustrations, ecology, distribution and diagnostic characters of these species are presented.

Safranbolu İlçesi (Karabük) Briyofit Florası

“…Araştırma alanı Safranbolu ilçesine yakın alanlarda ve Batı Karadeniz bölgesinde yapılan briyofit çeşitliliği üzerine çalışmalar bulunmaktadır (Özalp, 1995;Uyar, 2003;Uyar ve Çetin, 2006;Keçeli ve Çetin, 2006;Uyar ve ark., 2007;Ören ve ark., 2012;2015a). Fakat bu çalışmalar Safranbolu'nun briyofit çeşitliğini yansıtmamaktadır.…”

Herzogiella turfacea (Lindb.) Z. Iwats. (Plagiotheciaceae, Bryophyta) new to Turkey

“…So, Turkey is characterized by rich biodiversity of different ecological areas that supply excellent habitats for plants, including bryophytes. The total number of bryophyte species of Turkey have reached 962 (179 liverworts, 779 mosses, 4 hornworts) with the addition of new records (Batan et al, 2014a,b;Abay and Keçeli, 2014, Özdemir and Batan, 2014, Ursava and Çetin, 2014, Ezer et al, 2014, Ören et al, 2015. Compared to other European countries, not many bryophyte flora studies have been conducted in Turkey.…”

It has been so far known only from the Black Sea region in Turkey (Kastamonu province) (Ören et al, 2015).…”
