A NEW SUAEDA RECORD FOR FLORA OF TURKEY: SUAEDA AEGYPTIACA (CHENOPODIACEAE-AMARANTHACEAE)

We outline the phytogeographical relations of Turkish pteridophytes following revision of our previous check-list. Although mainly European, the Turkish fern-flora has c. 40% of its species and subspecies in common with or related to the West Himalayan European phytogeographical element. In the pteridophyte accounts of the recent Illustrated Flora of Turkey, it is clear that many specimens have been misidentified and various species incorrectly illustrated. In addition the extensive Turkish pteridophyte collections in international herbaria made by non-Turkish collectors, including those of the present first author, were not drawn upon and international consultation was intentionally not entered into. Although it is unfortunately not possible in the present circumstances to study and re-identify the great bulk of authentic specimens in Turkish herbaria cited in the Flora, we have reassessed some important records and corrected the many obvious anomalies in the Flora and we have added to the distributional data from our own critically studied collections. We therefore present an updated and taxonomically revised checklist with notes and additional distributions, including a few taxa overlooked in the Flora. We also treat the important subspecies which were omitted there. A new hybrid Asplenium and another of Cystopteris are described and a few necessary new combinations are made.

Academy Of Sciences

In Europe, the genus Diphasiastrum comprises 3 species and 3 hybrids, with D. × oellgaardii (D. alpinum × tristachyum) being the rarest cross. To improve the distributional knowledge of these taxa, extensive studies were performed in a number of herbaria (BM, H, O, K, LE, LECB, MHA, NS, S, VLA; acronyms after Holmgren et al. 1990). In the herbarium of the Tsytsin Main Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences in Russia (MHA), an interesting Diphasiastrum specimen collected in Turkey was discovered. It was labelled D. alpinum, but obviously is not this species. By thorough investigations of its morphology, we proved that it represents the hybrid D. × oellgaardii. This is the first record for Turkey, but also for Asia as a whole making it an important range extension. Furthermore, the herbarium studies revealed several unpublished finds of D. tristachyum in Turkey; these are also reported here. All known Turkish localities of D. × oellgaardii and its parent species are shown in a distribution map.

A New Species

Gypsophila guvengorkii (Caryophyllaceae) is described as a new species from Karabük province, Turkey. Morphology, distribution in Turkey, notes on ecology, and the conservation status are provided, as well as a comparison with the similar species G. brachypetala, G. briquetiana, and G. davisii. Additionally, an emended description of G. brachypetala is given. G. patrinii is excluded from the Flora of Turkey since the specimens collected from Doğubayazıt, which were previously identified as G. patrinii, actually refer to G. transcaucasica, which represents a new record for Turkey.
