TAILIEUCHUNG - A new species of Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae) from South Anatolia, Turkey

Silene duralii Y. Bagci sp. nov. from Ermenek-Kazanci (C4: Karaman province) is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. capillipes Boiss. & Heldr., from which it differs mainly in its hairiness, leaves, and floral features. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and the diagnostic key for related Silene L. species, which are widespread in Turkey, is reorganized. | Turk J Bot 32 (2008) 11-15 © TÜB‹TAK Research Article A New Species of Silene L.

Ba¤c› sp. nov. from Ermenek-Kazanc› (C4: Karaman province) is described and illustrated. It is closely related to S. capillipes Boiss. & Heldr., from which it differs mainly in its hairiness, leaves, and floral features. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and the diagnostic key for related Silene L. species, which are widespread in Turkey, is reorganized. The geographical distribution of the new species and other related species were mapped. Notes are also presented on its ecology, and biogeographical and conservation status. Chromosome count for S. duralii was 2n = 24. In addition, the seed coat surface of S. capillipes and S. duralii were examined by SEM.

(Caryophyllaceae) Türü Özet: Kazanc› (C4 Karaman) civar›ndan toplanan Silene duralii ¤c› yeni türü tan›mland› ve resimlendi. Yeni tür, benzerlik gösterdi¤i Silene capillipes Boiss. & Heldr. türünden tüylülük, yaprak ve çiçek özellikleri bak›m›ndan farkl›d›r. Ay›rt edici morfolojik özellikleri tart›fl›ld› ve Türkiye’de yetiflen yak›n Silene türleri için verilen teflhis anahtar› yeniden düzenlendi. Yeni türün ve benzer di¤er türün co¤rafik da¤›l›m› haritaland›. Ayn› zamanda yeni türün ekolojisi, biyoco¤rafisi ve koruma statüsü sunuldu. S. duralii türünün kromozom say›s› 2n=24 olarak tespit edildi. ‹lave olarak, S. capillipes ve S. duralii türlerinin tohum yüzeyleri Taramal› Elektron Mikroskobuyla incelendi.
