“…In addition, HPLC-MS analyses of the methanol extract of Ferula drudeana roots confirmed the presence of luteolin-7-β-D-glucoside (cynaroside) (29), cynarin (30) and chlorogenic acid (31) as bioactive polar metabolites [54]. Chemical constituents of the F. drudeana were highly diverse; such chemical and pharmacological diversity is unique among the investigated Ferula species.…”

Silphion was an ancient medicinal gum-resin; most likely obtained from a Ferula species growing in the Cyrene region of Libya ca. 2500 years ago. Due to its therapeutic properties and culinary value, silphion became the main economic commodity of the Cyrene region. It is generally believed that the source of silphion became extinct in the first century AD. However, there are a few references in the literature about the cultivated silphion plant and its existence up to the fifth century. Recently, a rare and endemic Ferula species that produces a pleasant-smelling gum-resin was found in three locations near formerly Greek villages in Anatolia. Morphologic features of this species closely resemble silphion, as it appears in the numismatic figures of antique Cyrenaic coins, and conform to descriptions by ancient authors. Initial chemical and pharmacological investigations of this species have confirmed the medicinal and spice-like quality of its gum-resin supporting a connection with the long-lost silphion. A preliminary conservation study has been initiated at the growth site of this rare endemic Ferula species. The results of this study and their implications on the regional extinction event, and future development of this species will be discussed.

“…These latter species were reconsidered as unusual species [17]. In another phylogenetic study that was performed simultaneously with the aforementioned paper, two monocarpic Turkish species; F. drudeana Korovin and F. huber-morathii Peşmen were included in Korovin's Subgenus Merwia, whereas F. anatolica Boiss., F. mervynii and F. coskunii were identified as unassigned species [18]. These examples clearly illustrates the problems associated with the application of phylogenetic analyses to the taxonomical classification of Turkish Ferula species.…”

“…Due to the wide morphological variations and potential inter-species hybridization, taxonomical classification of Ferula species' is very difficult. In order to resolve taxonomical issues of the genus, several recent publications were focused on the phylogenetic analyses of Ferula species [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Ferula pisidica is a novel endemic species found in the vicinity of Karaman province of inner Mediterranean Region of Turkey. F. pisidica is morphologically distinct from F. haussknechtii and F. brevipedicellata by habit, sheaths, terminal leaf lobes, and mericarp size as well as by chemotaxonomic differences. The new species is described by morphological, carpological, ecological and phytochemical characteristics. Its relationships with the other related species and proposed conservation status will be reviewed.

Phylogenetic position of Dorema within Ferula (Apiaceae)

et al. 2023

Dorema (Apiaceae) includes 12 species distributed in the Irano-Turanian region. The genus differs from other genera of subfamily Apioideae in having paniculate inflorescences with simple umbels. Recently, molecular phylogenetic analyses placed six species of Dorema, including the generitype, in Ferula, thus subsuming the former into the synonymy of the latter. The remaining six congeners have not been yet included in molecular analyses. Here, we fill this gap by determining the phylogenetic position of these species. Because of a low resolution in some parts of the Ferula tree in earlier studies, alongside standard set of markers—nuclear nrDNA ITS and plastid rps16 and rpoC1 introns and the rpoB-trnC intergenic spacer—we additionally assessed the utility of nrDNA ETS sequences in resolving infrageneric relationships in the genus. We included 43 ingroup species representing major infrageneric divisions recognised in the most recent taxonomic revision. Although we were not successful in obtaining all markers for all newly studied species, they were placed with high support in one clade within section Peucedanoides together with formerly studied congeners in all maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of nuclear, plastid, and combined data sets. The addition of the ETS marker to the combined phylogenetic analyses confirmed the most recent classification of Ferula with increased branch support in some parts of the tree. However, many branches still remained unresolved. In particular, the monophyly of former Dorema within section Peucedanoides as suggested by morphology has not been definitely confirmed. A new combination and two nomina nova are proposed.
