TAILIEUCHUNG - Teucrium chasmophyticum Rech. f. (Lamiaceae): A new record for the flora of Turkey

An interesting chasmophytic Teucrium specimen was collected from Siirt, SE Turkey. It was identified according to the Flora of Turkey as T. paederotoides but with some doubt about certain characters. It was identified as T. chasmophyticum without any doubt from Flora Iranica. Because of some indistinct points between these 2 taxa, the recently described taxon was re-evaluated. | Turk J Bot 30 (2006) 317-320 © TÜB‹TAK Research Note Teucrium chasmophyticum Rech. f.
