Abstract

The genus Calamintha Miller is represented in the Flora of Turkey by 9 species and altogether 13 taxa six of which are endemic. In this study, 13 taxa belonging to the genus Calamintha have been examined taxanomical and morphological properties and the relationships of the following species were investigated: Calamintha grandiflora L. Moench, C. betulifolia Boiss. & Bal., C. tauricola P. H. Davis, C. pamphylica Boiss. & Heldr. subsp. pamphylica, C. pamphylica subsp. davisii Quezel & Contandr. Davis end. , C. pamphylica subsp. alanyense S. Alan & A. Ocak end. , C. piperelloides Stapf end. , C. sylvatica Bromf. subsp. sylvatica, C. sylvatica subsp. ascendens Jordan P. W. Ball, C. nepeta L. Savi subsp. nepeta, C. nepeta subsp. glandulosa Req. P. W. Ball, C. incana Sm. Boiss., C. caroli-henricana Kit Tan & Sorger. In morphological studies, descriptions of each taxon have been given and general appearance of plants and their, leaf, bract, flower, calyx, corolla and fruit shapes have been illustrated. According to the results, a new identification key widening the limits for Calamintha species has been prepared and presented in the section of morphological results

Türkiye Calamintha Miller Lamiaceae cinsi üzerine taksonomik ve morfolojik bir çalışma

Abstract

Türkiye Florası’nda Calamintha Miller Lamiaceae cinsi 6’sı endemik olmak üzere 9 tür ve 13 takson ile temsil edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Calamintha cinsine ait 13 takson sistematik ve morfolojik yönden incelenmiş, birbirleriyle olan yakınlık dereceleri saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışılan taksonlar şunlardır: [Calamintha grandiflora L. Moench, C. betulifolia Boiss. & Ball, C. tauricola P. H. Davis end. , C. pamphylica Boiss. & Heldr. subsp. pamphylica, C. pamphylica subsp. davisii Quezel & Contandr. Davis end. , C. pamphylica subsp. alanyense S. Alan & A. Ocak end. , C. piperelloides Stapf end , C. sylvatica Bromf. subsp. sylvatica, C. sylvatica subsp. ascendens Jordan P. W. Ball, C. nepeta L. Savi subsp. nepeta, C. nepeta subsp. glandulosa Req. P. W. Ball, Calamintha incana Sm. Boiss., Calamintha caroli-henricana Kit Tan & Sorger]. Morfolojik çalışmalarda türlerin tanımları verilip, bitkilerin genel görünüşleri, yaprak, brakte, çiçek, kaliks, korolla ve meyve şekilleri ilave edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Calamintha türlerinin daha geniş varyasyon sınırlarını içeren yeni ayrım anahtarı morfolojik sonuçlar bölümünde verilmiştir
