A new species of Lathyrus cirpicii F.Güneş (Fabaceae) from Turkey

Abstract

Lathyrus cirpicii was described as a new species from Turkey. This species is most morphologically similar to L. annuus, L. hierosolymitanus and L. cassius but it have some differs like broader stems, longer pedicels, larger flowers, more-flowered peduncles, bright-red corollas, linear-oblong pistils, widely keeled upper sutures of legumes and subprolate seeds. The pollen and seed structure of L. cirpicii and related species is described using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM). A detailed description, information about the habitat, distribution, phytogeography and conservation and illustrations of the new species are also added.

New scientific discoveries: Plants and fungi

“…Numerous new species of plant groups used as food for farm animals were published in 2019, predominantly grasses and legumes. Among the legumes were a new species of vetch Vicia brulloi from Sicily (Sciandrello, Del Galdo, Salmeri, & Minissale, 2019), a new grasspea Lathyrus cirpicii from Turkey (Güneş, 2019), and a new sainfoin, Onobrychis garinensis and a new sweetvetch Hedysarum alamutense (Nafisi, Kazempour‐osaloo, Mozaffarian, & Amini‐rad, 2019), both from Iran. New grasses include three new fescues ( Festuca ) from Spain.…”

Chemical Composition of Seeds of Two Endemic Lathyrus L. Species from Turkey

“…Davis (1970) stated that the genus was represented as 67 taxa at the species, subspecies, and variety level in Flora of Turkey. However, the number of taxa at Turkey was increased to 77 and 25 of that were known as endemic (Davis et al, 1988;Güner et al, 2000;Genç & Şahin, 2008;Genç, 2009;Genç & Şahin, 2011;Güneş & Çırpıcı, 2012;Güneş, 2014). Lathyrus L. was important owing to economically and nutritionally.…”
