Lamium ponticum, known from central and eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, is an endemic species with white flowers. However, it was evaluated as a synonym of L. moschatum subsp. micranthum in the last taxonomic revision the genus. During our revisional studies on the genus, we concluded that L. ponticum is completely different from L. moschatum subsp. …

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Morphological Data—Morphological data for 54 Nymphoides taxa (including two subspecies of N. indica; Appendix 1) were obtained from literature (Aston 1973, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1997, 2002, 2003; Raynal 1974b; Sivarajan and Joseph 1993) or directly from observations of preserved specimens (in ethanol or dried) or live plants.

INTRODUCTION. The genus Nigella L. is represented by 12 species and one doubtful record in Turkey (Davis, 1965).After the revision of the genus with a new description and a new record (Davis, Mill & Tan, 1988), the total has now reached 14 species.The closest species to the new species is N. sativa, a Linnean species for which there is only a short …

We describe a new and highly aggressive species of pine shoot beetle, Tomicus yunnanensis Kirkendall & Faccoli, which has been decimating Pinus yunnanensis forests in southwest China for almost three decades. This species was confused with T. piniperda until recent molecular studies showed the SW China populations to be quite divergent from T. …

(d) other evidence such as the presence of a gastric mill (Kobayashi et al., 1999; Makovicky et al., 2004). These types of evidence, however, are limited either by the quality of the fossil record or by assumptions on the strength of relationships between morphology and inferred function (Bestwick et al., 2018 and references therein).

Inspect plant morphological characteristics . 1.1 Observe morphological, tactile and sensory characteristics of the plant specimens. 1.2 Record observations and characteristics according to workplace procedures. 1.3 Identify the plant division by comparing plant specimen's characteristics with taxonomic classification. 2.

Vallisneria spiralis is the type species of the genus Vallisneria, described by Linnaeus (1753) from its native habitat in southern Europe ( Lowden, 1982 ). Worldwide, twelve species have been recognized recently by molecular techniques and a further 2-3 by morphological differences that were invariant at the molecular level ( Les et al., 2008 ).

The entire body is a vibrant, metallic blue-green with areas of metallic red-copper on the humeri and apex of the elytra and on the pronotum, rostrum, and legs. The mean dimensions of the adult are 5.66 mm long by 3.71 mm wide (Ulmer et al. 2007). Figure 2. Adult Eurhinus magnificus Gyllenhal, a weevil, (dorsal view).

tal plants and roadside trees such as Senna siamea (Lam.) H. S. Irwin and Barneby and Senna occidentalis (Linn.) Link The genus has followed several curious lines of classi-fication. The taxonomy of this plant group is still puzzling because of the extreme morphological variability and ambiguous boundaries between taxa.

Genus Ziziphus Mill., commonly called Ber, comprises deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs, widely distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world []. Ziziphus belongs to the family Rhamnaceae, which contains 100 species in the Old-world (i.e., African, European, and Asian) and New-world (i.e., America). Ziziphus species are pantropical and …

Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carrière 1855. Common names. Atlas cedar, Cedre de l'Atlas [French]. Taxonomic notes. Very little morphological evidence exists to distinguish Cedrus atlantica from C. libani.In fact, all common morphological characters overlap between the two taxa (Farjon 2010).Nonetheless, molecular analyses have found consistent …

Notes: Morphologically, the Peruvian specimens reported and described herein most closely match the description of C. abramovii. The conidiophores in the Peruvian specimens are thinner than the type (5–6.5 vs. (8−)10−12.5 µm), as are the swellings of the conidiogenous zones (8.5−13 µm vs. 18 µm). Conidia are thick walled and ...

Under this culture condition, plants increased steadily in size, reaching the height of about 5 cm in 2 months. One year after sowing, the presence of 73 plants with functional roots was recorded (Figure 2j). After 18 months from sowing, all plants were moved to a growth chamber under ND photoperiod and 18 ± 1 °C to enhance their development.

It was long suspected and argued that Fraser fir was sister to Abies balsamea, but molecular data have established with high confidence that this taxon should be described as a subspecies or variety of balsam fir.Similarities between the taxa …

Pinguicula in Turkey was previously revised by Mill (1978), who reported only two species: P. crystallina and P. balcanica Casper (1962:105).

The family is most common in tropical and subtropical regions, e.g., in hot tropical lowlands in all kinds of habitats, ranging from rain forests to dry forests and savannas; some species are found even in cloud forests ( Heald ...

2016). All plants also had pure white to yellowish-white coloration of flowers while C. kurdica has pink perianth at least in most specimens (Renz & Taubenheim, 1984; Kreutz, 1998; Delforge, 2016). Detailed information on C. epipactoides is presented below, including its nomenclature and the type, morphology, distribution, and conservation status.

the increased interest in the family is the lack of current studies on the morphology, taxonomy, and phylogeny of this group of higher flowering plants. Due to its close relations with the Mediterranean and Pre-Asian flora, our country appears to be a secondary active center of the Iridaceae family (Goldblatt 2000). Within the evidence
