A new variety of the Bupleurum (Apiaceae) from Türkiye

Abstract

Some interesting Bupleurum (Apiaceae) specimens with very branched stems, (1–)2-rayed inflorescences and ivory-white bracteoles were collected from Tepebaşı District (Eskişehir Province). The specimes, at first glance, resembled the Bupleurum pendikum (sect. Aristata) species, which is endemic in Türkiye, as a habit. However, as a result of detailed examination, it was determined that there were some differences. Based on these differences, the specimens were presented to the scientific world as a new variety and were named Bupleurum pendikum var. eskisehiricum. The fact that the inflorescences are (1–)2 rays (not (2–)34(–5)); the bracteoles are 2.6–3.7 mm broad, ovate-elliptic and with arista up to 0.5 mm long (not 1.2–2 mm broad, lanceolate and with arista 11.5 mm long); the petals 0.6–0.8 mm broad (not 0.4–0.5 mm broad); the filaments 0.7–0.8 mm long (not c. 0.5 mm long) and the mericarps 2.7–3.1 × 1.1–1.3 mm (not 2.2–2.4 × 0.9–1 mm) are the most obvious attributes that separate Bupleurum pendikum var. eskisehiricum from B. pendikum (var. pendikum), that is a close taxon. Here, a detailed description of the new variety, informative photographs, and some ecological preferences were given.

Thanks

Here, the specimens presented as a new species were collected during the “Biorestoration Observation Studies” realized within the scope of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP). I would like to express my gratitude to the TANAP Natural Gas Transmission Company and the contractor Assystem (Türkiye), for preparing the foundation for this study and for providing contributions to the Bupleurum taxonomy.
