TAILIEUCHUNG - An interesting Re-collection of Halopeplis amplexicauis (Vahl) Ung. Sternb. from Turkey

Halopeplis amplexicaulis was recorded in the 19th century by Balansa from the mouth of the Cydnus (Tarsus Çayı Agzı), Tarsus, Turkey (Aellen, 1967). Since then it has not been re-collected in Turkey. The presence of Halopeplis amplexicaulis (Vahl) . in Turkey is confirmed. | Turk J Bot 30 (2006) 459-460 © TÜB‹TAK Research Note An Interesting Re-collection of Halopeplis amplexicauis (Vahl) . from Turkey A.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Halopeplis amplexicaulis, Chenopodiaceae, Türkiye Introduction The genus Halopeplis Bunge ex . consists of 3 species. H. perfoliata (Forssk.) Schweinf. et Asch. is a perennial species distributed on the shores of the Red Sea, and the coasts of Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, South Iran, and Pakistan (Freitag, 1991). H. pygmaea (Pall.) Bunge ex . is an annual species distributed in Ciscaucasia, South Iraq, Iran, the lowlands of Central Asia and China (Hedge, 1997). H. amplexicaulis (Vahl) . (Chenopodiaceae) is an annual halophytic species that is widespread throughout the countries of the Mediterranean (Blanche & Molero, 1987; Tremblin, 2000). Halopeplis amplexicaulis was recorded in the 19th century by Balansa from the mouth of the Cydnus (Tarsus Çayı A¤zı), Tarsus, Turkey (Aellen, 1967). Since then it has not been re-collected in Turkey. Recent searches at various localities at the mouth of the Tarsus river failed to locate it: at Mersin-Tarsus; Tarsus Plajı, Alifakhı Çora¤ı, Egemen Çora¤ı, Adana-Karatafl; Akyatan Lagoon, Mersin; Silifke, Göksu Delta in July, August, November 2000, October 2002, October 2003 and November 2004. Finally and surprisingly, far from the Mersin area, it was collected in 2004 near ‹zmir (. Yaprak .
