Verbascum eskisehirensis sp. nov. (Scrophulariaceae) from central Anatolia, Turkey

Abstract

Verbascum eskisehirensis Karavel., Ocak & Ekici sp. nov. (sect. Bothrosperma Murb.) is described and illustrated from Turkey. This new species is confined to B3 Eskisehir in central Anatolia. A morphological comparison is made with the closely related species; V. oreophilum K. Koch and V. pyramidatum M. Bieb. In addition, a cluster analysis was conducted and a distribution map of the new species and the related species is also given.

Klasea yunus-emrei(Asteraceae), a new species from central Anatolia, Turkey

“…The area is very rich in local endemic plants (Akman et al 2011;Koc yigit & Bona 2013). Recently many publications were published on new species from this particular region, notably Hypericum sechmenii ), Hesperis turkmendaghensis (Duran & Ocak 2005), Verbascum eskisehirensis (Karaveliogulları et al 2009), Scorzonera tuzgoluensis (Dogan et al 2011) and Pseudodelphinium turcicum (Vural et al 2012). (Note that Davis's grid system was used for the coordinates)…”

Biological activities and luteolin derivatives of Verbascum eskisehirensis Karavel., Ocak Ekici

“…It is distributed in Eskişehir in Central Anatolia. It was firstly described by Karavelioğlu et al [14].…”

Two new infraspecific taxa of Verbascum delphicum (Scrophulariaceae, Scrophularieae) from mainland Greece and the island of Evvia

“…Since his era, several other species have been discovered and described, principally but not exclusively from Anatolia (AI-Hemaid 2001; Aytaç and Duman 2012; Bani et al 2010; Çeçen et al 2015; Davis 1951; 1952; Firat 2015; Greuter and Rechinger 1972; Huber-Morath 1939; 1949; 1955; 1960; 1965; 1967; 1971; 1973; 1974; 1975; 1976; 1979; 1981; 1983; Karavelioğullari 2015; Karavelioğullari et al 2011; Karavelioğullari et al 2004; Karavelioğulları et al 2009; Karavelioğullari et al 2008; Karavelioğullari et al 2014; Kaynak et al 2006; Parolly and Eren 2008; Parolly and Tan 2007; Ranjbar and Nouri 2015; Sotoodeh et al 2015; Sotoodeh et al 2016; Stefanova-Gateva 1979) and a modified classification system of “ informal, partly artificial groups ” has been utilized by Arthur Huber-Morath for the Turkish taxa (Huber-Morath 1978). Both taxonomies of Murbeck and of Huber-Morath are still widely cited and used today in studies of new species; however, it should be noted that a first assessment of molecular data suggests these schemes are non-natural and that the genus has potentially been subjected to taxonomic inflation (Ghahremaninejad et al 2014).…”
