Abstract
Continuing a series of miscellaneous contributions on the taxonomy, nomenclature, site-ecology and
chorology of vascular plants of Turkey, the second instalment deals with 15 taxa of the families
Alliaceae, Apiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Colchicaceae, Dipsacaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Lamiaceae,
Papaveraceae and Ranunculaceae. Allium antalyense, Cephalaria gazipashensis subsp. pilifera and
Teucrium pseudaroanium are described as new to science and illustrated.
Allium (sect. Allium)
antalyense belongs to the informal Sphaerocephalon group and is closely allied to
A. reuterianum.
It is an overlooked local endemic of the Western Taurus (Teke D.) and grows in the subalpine
belt on limestone. Teucrium (sect. Teucrium) pseudaroanium was found in the Demre Çayi valley
in the province of Antalya, where it inhabits limestone marble cliffs of the thermo-Mediterranean
belt. It forms together with the Greek endemic T. aroanium and the SW Anatolian endemic
T. alyssifolium a group of closely related species that are linked by reticulately distributed
characters. Characters and ecological requirements of the members of this T. aroanium group are
discussed; the taxonomically important trichome types are particularly considered and figured
by SEM micrographs. Chamaesyce nutans, R. peltatus s.str. and Zuvanda exacoides are new records
for the flora of Turkey. Three taxa are suggested to be sunk in synonymy, viz.
Allium vuralii
(in A. scabriflorum), Draba terekemensis (in D. imeretica) and
Ranunculus kastamonuensis
(in R. peltatus). The new combinations Chamaesyce forskalii and Colchicum figlalii are validated.
New keys are provided for the genus Chamaesyce and the infraspecific taxa of Camelina hispida.
