“…Most records and sites of C. anatolica in fact refer to Uludağ, which may have played an important role in the persistence of this species, especially during the warmer interglacial periods. Indeed, Uludağ is a hotspot of diversity in western Anatolia (Noroozi & al., 2019), hosting 1309 vascular plant taxa (Daşkın & Kaynak, 2011) with a high proportion of species that are either endemic to this mountain range or have a limited distribution that extends to adjacent mountains reaching lower altitudes (Yılmaz & al., 2003; Bağci & al., 2009; Özbek & al., 2011; Yüzbaşıoğlu & al., 2015). One of these endemics, Berteroa physocarpa , occurs on Uludağ (at 2200 m) and Kartepe Mts.…”

“…The latter scenario is supported by the fact that Uludağ harbours high species diversity and has been identified as one of the centres of endemism in Türkiye (Noroozi & al., 2019). Even recently, new vascular plant taxa have been described that are restricted to this mountain or its close proximity (Yılmaz & al., 2003; Bağci & al., 2009; Daşkın & al., 2009; Özbek & al., 2011).…”

Anatolia is a significant centre of biodiversity and endemism with diversity hotspots located mainly in mountain ranges. Its complex geological history and heterogeneous topography have generated natural barriers to gene flow that favour speciation, and migration corridors that accentuate its transitional biogeographic position. While more attention has been paid to the predominant Irano‐Turanian and Mediterranean xerophytic elements, the evolution of species adapted to wet habitats with limited occurrence is understudied in this area. Here, we investigated Cardamine representatives in northern Anatolia with the aims of resolving the taxonomically uncertain populations previously assigned to either C. uliginosa or C. tenera from northwestern Anatolia (Uludağ,) and elucidating the genetic structure of (sub)alpine C. uliginosa recorded mainly from the North Anatolian Mts. (Pontic Mts.). Using a combination of phylogenomic (Hyb‐Seq), morphometric, and flow cytometric analyses, we support a distinct position of the northwestern Anatolian populations, described here as a new species Cardamine anatolica. Apart from Uludağ, a few other sites were found in the montane to subalpine belts in the Marmara and Aegean regions. A sister phylogenetic position of C. anatolica to C. acris, a widespread and polymorphic Balkan species, supports the existence of biogeographic links between these areas and suggests a vicariance scenario. We revealed a pronounced intraspecific diversification of C. uliginosa with geographic structuring and admixture in the Pontic Mts., which highlights this area as a significant hotspot of biodiversity not only at the species level but also at the level of genetic variation. Due to the common misinterpretation of the species treated here, we revise their distributional data, provide details on their morphological differentiation, and present an identification key. The study highlights the evolutionary importance of Anatolian mountains, which promote speciation, favour accumulation of diversity, and serve as a meeting place of colonization routes.

“…The Cota in Turkey has resulted in the description of two new species, increasing the number of species to 20 and taxa to 26 (including present this new species C. phitosiana Yıld. and Kılıç and previous new species C. hamzaoglui Özbek and Vural (Özbek et al, 2011), and the species transferred from Anacyclus L. to Cota J.Gay by Vitales et al (Vitales et al, 2018) Fern. and Vitales (Vitales et al, 2018).…”

“…The genus Cota species are distributed in the Europe, SW Asia and N Africa and is represented by about 55 species (60 taxa) throughout the World (9), and the above mentioned areas especially Turkey (W and C Anatolia, and Mediterranean area), Iran and Russia have been considered as the gene centre of the genus (Grierson, Yavın, 1975;Greuter et al, 2003;Özbek et al, 2011;Yıldırımlı, 1999).…”

Cota J. Gay is belongs to Compositae (Asteraceae) family. Cota genus is represented by about 63 taxa in the world and is mainly distributed in Europe (excluding northern Europe), North Africa, Caucasia and Central Asia. In Turkey, the Cota genus include about 22 taxa, nine of which are endemic.Taxa of the Cota are mainly distributed and common in the Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian phytogeographic regions of Turkey. Cota was earlier classified as a section in the Anthemis L. genus in Flora of Turkey. After than the generic and infrageneric concepts of Anthemis were changed and Cota was accepted as another genus. Cota phitosiana Yıld. & Kılıç, a new species from Elazığ province, Karakoçan district, East Turkey, is described and photographed. Cota phitosiana is compared with the closest related species Cota tinctoria (L.) J.Gay. var. tinctoria. The speciation features of the new species is briefly discussed. Cota nigellifolia (Boiss.) Álv. Fern. and Vitales subsp. orientalis (Grierson) Yıld. is made a new combination.

The essential oil (EO) of Cota tinctoria var. tinctoria was analyzed using GC-FID / MS. A total of 51 compounds were determined from this taxon, accounting for 99.79% in hydrodistillation. Monoterpenes were the primary chemical class for the volatile organic compounds in the EO (36.1%, 13 compounds). Borneol (18.1%), camphor (14.9%), and β -pinene (11.3%) were the major components in the EO of C. tinctoria var. tinctoria . The antimicrobial activities of EO and n- hexane, acetonitrile, methanol, and water solvent extracts of the taxon were screened in vitro against ten microorganisms. The EO yielded the best activity (15 mm, 372.5 MIC, 59600 μg/μL) against Mycobacterium smegmatis . The acetonitrile extract was the most active against the Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus with 274 μg/mL MIC value. IC 50 values for the lipase enzyme inhibitory activity of EO and solvent extracts ( n- hexane, acetonitrile, methanol, and water) were found to be 59.80 ± 4.3285 μg/mL 68.28 ± 3.1215 μg/mL, 52.60 ± 3.7526 μg/mL, 48.73 ± 2.8265 μg/mL, and 99.50 ± 5.5678 μg/mL, respectively.
