TAILIEUCHUNG - A contribution to the genus Allium L. (Sect. Codonoprasum) in Turkey

Allium dentiferum Webb & Berthel and Allium dodecanesii Karavokyrou & Tzanoudak were collected during a floristic study of South Anatolia. A. dodecanesii is reported as a new record for the flora of Turkey. Although collected earlier by Aznavour, Bothmer, and Brullo, specimens of A. dentiferum were misinterpreted and the species was thus not recorded for the flora of Turkey. | Research Article Turk J Bot 34 (2010) 391-395 © TÜBİTAK doi: A contribution to the genus Allium L.

Codonoprasum) cinsi ile ilgili katkılar Özet: Güney Anadolu’da yapılan floristik çalışma sırasında Allium dentiferum Webb & Berthel and Allium dodecanesii Karavokyrou & Tzanoudakis türleri toplanmıştır. A. dodecanesii Türkiye florası için yeni kayıttır. A. dentiferum türü ise Aznavour, Bothmer ve Brullo tarafından daha önce toplanmış, ancak örnekler yanlış tayin edildiği için Türkiye florasında yer almamıştır. Bu çalışmada türlerin çizimleri ve fotoğrafları ile Türkiye’deki yayılışlarını gösteren harita verilmiştir.
