Taxonomic revision of the genus Convolvulus L. Convolvulaceae in Turkey

Abstract

The genus Convolvulus, which is represented with 33 species 36 taxa in the Flora of Turkey, was evaluated to be comprised of 39 taxa, three of which are hybrid, in this study. Morphological characters of the 39 Convolvulus taxa, which were collected and examined in situ at different localities in Turkey during the period of 2006-2010, were investigated. Additionally, the threat categories of each taxon according to IUCN were evaluated. C. pulvinatus was indicated as a synonym of C. phrygius in the List of Turkey Plants Vascular Plants ; the reasons for the combination of these species were discussed in the present study. Keys to species, subspecies and varieties, and synonymy, detailed morphometric descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps are provided for most of the taxa

Türkiye Convolvulus L. Convolvulaceae cinsinin taksonomik revizyonu

Abstract

Türkiye Florası’nda 33 tür 36 takson ile temsil edilen Convolvulus cinsi, bu çalışmayla 3 tanesi hibrit olmak üzere toplam 39 takson olarak değerlendirildi. Türkiye’nin farklı lokasyonlarından 2006-2010 yıllarında arasında toplanan Convolvulus cinsine ait 39 taksona ait morfolojik karakterler incelendi. Ayrıca, her taksonun tehlike kategorisi IUCN kriterlerine göre belirlendi. Türkiye Bitkileri Listesi Damarlı Bitkiker ’nde C. phrygius türünün sinonimi olarak belirtilen C. puvinatus türünün, sinonim yapılma nedenleri bu çalışmada ayrıntılı biçimde tartışıldı. Türlere, alttürlere ve varyetelere ait teşhis anahtarları, bu taksonların sinonimleri, ayrıntılı morfolojik betimleri, çizimleri ve çoğu taksona ait yayılış haritaları sunuldu
