Novelties in the genus Trifolium in Türkiye

Abstract

This article summarizes the information obtained during the revision of Trifolium of Türkiye. By the end of the revision, four new taxa (T. leylae, T. konyaensis, T. tmoleum, and T. hybridum subsp. anatolicum var. minutum) were introduced to the scientific world, and T. dalmaticum is reported as a new record for the Flora of Türkiye. Three new units of subgeneric classification of Trifolium (subsect. Stipulia, subsect. Caudata, and sect. Anemopeta) are offered. Therefore, two new combinations are made (T. angustifolium var. infamia-ponertii and T. setiferum var. rumelicum). Distribution information for all analyzed specimens is included in the article. New diagnostic keys for T. hybridum species and subgenus Paramesus had been constructed.
