A new natural hybrid of Verbascum L. (Scrophulariacae) from Turkey

Abstract

Verbascum × aytachii nothosp. nov. H. Duman & Uzunh. (sect. Bothrospermae) is described and illustrated as a new natural hybrid from the Orhaneli (Bursa Region) area in Western Anatolia, Turkey. This species is identified to have some intermediate morphological and palynological characteristics that place it between the parents which are V. ekicii and V. basivelatum. A comprehensive description, ecology, a distribution map and a detailed illustration are provided. Furthermore, pollen morphological properties of V. × aytachii and its parents are compared via light (LM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM).
