tailieunhanh - A new record for the flora of Turkey: Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. (Labiatae)

Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. is reported for the first time from Turkey. This new record is confined to Çınar in Diyarbakır. The diagnostic morphological characters of S. spinosa L. are discussed. Notes are presented on its ecology and phenology. A distribution map of this new record is also given. | Research Note Turk J Bot 33 (2009) 53-55 © TÜBİTAK doi: A New Record for the Flora of Turkey: Salvia macrosiphon Boiss.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Labiatae, Salvia macrosiphon, Yeni Kayıt, Türkiye Introduction The first revision of Salvia L. in Turkey was made by Hedge (1982a) in Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands, volume 7, in which he recognized 86 species, and 1 hybrid and 1 doubtful species. Since the publication of the flora, 1 new record and 6 more new species have been described from Turkey (Huber-Morath, 1982; Vural & Adıgüzel, 1996; Dönmez, 2001; Hamzaoğlu et al., 2005; İlçim et al., 2009; Celep and Doğan, 2009; Celep et al., 2009). Since 2005, as part of a revisional study of the genus Salvia in Turkey, the authors have carried out extensive field studies and collected a large number of specimens. In addition, population size, and phenological and ecological properties were observed in the field (Davis & Heywood, 1973). In 2007, during a field trip to southeast Anatolia (C8 Diyarbakır, C8 sensu Davis, 1965), .
