Abstract

Bu çalışma, Tor Ghar; Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Bölgesi pteridofitlerinin floristik özelliklerini belgelemeyi amaçlamıştır. On familya ve 20 cins içinde dağılım gösteren toplam 41 tür tanımlanmıştır. Dryopteridaceae, 12 türle (%29,26) en büyük familyadır. İkinci ve üçüncü büyük aile sırasıyla 10 (%24.39) ve 5 (%12.19) tür ile Pteridaceae ve Thelypteridaceae'dir. Aynı şekilde Dryopteris, 6 (%14.63) türle en büyük cins olmuştur. Asıl familylar Aspleniaceae, Blechnaceae, Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Equisetaceae, Lygodiaceae, Marseliaceae, Pteridaceae, Thelypteridaceae ve Woodsiaceae’dir. Polystichum integrilobium (Ching ex Y.T. Hsieh) W.M. Chu ex H.S. Kung, Pakistan için ilk kez rapor edilmiştir ve 33 tür Tor Ghar için yeni kayıt durumundadır. Teşhis edilen bu türler, Shumli Bandi, Bandi, Pabal, Tilli, Panja Gali, Kotkay, Ganga, Judba, Seri Kohani, Tagram, Nabori, Tor Kandow ve Kandar (Hussanzai) gibi farklı yerlerden toplanmıştır.

Floristic studies of the pteridophytes of district Tor Ghar KP, Pakistan

Abstract

This study was aimed to document the floristic attributes of the pteridophytes of District Tor Ghar; Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Total 41 species distributed in 20 genera and 10 families were recognized. Dryopteridaceae was the largest family with 12 species (29.26%). Second and third large family is Pteridaceae and Thelypteridaceae with 10 (24.39%) and 5 (12.19%) species respectively. Like-wise, Dryopteris was the largest genus with 6 (14.63%) species. The main families were Aspleniaceae, Blechnaceae, Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Equisetaceae, Lygodiaceae, Marseliaceae, Pteridaceae, Thelypteridaceae, and Woodsiaceae. Polystichum integrilobium (Ching ex Y.T. Hsieh) W.M. Chu ex H.S. Kung is reported for the first time for Pakistan and 33 species are new records for the Tor Ghar. These identified species were collected from different localities i.e. Shumli Bandi, Bandi, Pabal, Tilli, Panja Gali, Kotkay, Ganga , Judba, Seri Kohani, Tagram, Nabori, Tor Kandow and Kandar (Hussanzai).
