A new species ofSilene(Caryophyllaceae) from east Anatolia, Turkey

Centaurea malatyensis Ş. Kültür & M. Bona sp. nova (Asteraceae) is described as new to science from East Anatolia (B6: Malatya: Turkey). It is morphologically similar to C. leptophylla but differs mainly in its stem, basal and cauline leaf shape and size, achene, pappus and phyllary appendages. The geographical distribution of the new species and its relatives is mapped. The ecology and conservation status of the new species is also presented. Micromorphological structures of achenes of C. malatyensis and C. leptophylla are examined by SEM.

Allium dönmezii is described as a new species from east Anatolia, Turkey. The molecular marker ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA) confirms that the new species belongs to A. sect. Melanocrommyum. The diagnostic characters of the new species are morphologically compared with the related A. woronowii, A. serpentinicum, and A. moderense, as well as with A. rothii and A. chrysantherum. In addition, the ITS regions of A. purpureoviride and A. chrysantherum were sequenced and uploaded on GenBank for the first time.

Long-standing observations of plants named by Yu. D. Zinserling (1939) Sorbus graeca (Spach) Lodd. ex S. Schauer var. orbiculata Zinserl., nom. inval., descr. ross., and later described by us as S. umbellata (Desf.) Fritsch var. orbiculata Gabrielian (1978), allowed to identify significant additional features to clearly distinguish them from typical plants of S. graeca. We propose to consider these plants as an independent species S. orbiculata (Gabrielian) Gabrielian, comb. et stat. nov. Distinctive features of this species from S. graeca, as well as from other closely related species S. umbellata and S. taurica Zinserl. are shown.

Ranunculus solhanensis sp. nov. (Ranunculaceae) is described from Bingöl province (Eastern Anatolia) in Turkey. It is related to R. bulbilliferus and R. munzurensis also distributed in east Anatolia. The new species is easily distinguished from its relatives by morphological features of stem, corolla, stamen and achenes. Achenes and pollen characteristics have been assessed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Distribution, ecological data and IUCN conservation status of the new species are also provided.

In this study, Erysimum nemrutdaghense Mutlu (Brassicaceae) is described as a new species from the province of Adıyaman in the South-east Anatolia. In order to determine the phylogenetic relationships of the new species, a portion of the nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences of ITS region was used. In addition to the new species, ITS regions of five Erysimum species were sequenced. Erysimum sintenisianum Bornm., E. lazistanicum (Rupr.) Lipsky, and E. stenophyllum Polatschek were sequenced in this study for the first time. The diagnostic morphological and phylogenetic characteristics are discussed with similar species. SEM images of trichomes on different parts of siliqua, stigma, and seed are given. Chromosome number of the new species is found to be 2n=16.
