A NEW GENUS FOR THE FLORA OF TURKEY: Trachelium jacquinii

Abstract

A new genus Traclzeliztm jucqzii~~ii (Sieber) Boiss. (Cunzpar~ulaceae) is added to the flora of Turkey with the specimen collected from Erupoean Turkey, A1 (E) Edime. Description of the species and descriptive illustration are given.While determing some recent collections from European Turkey, collected by G. and A. Dalg~c; from south coast of Edime, some interesting specimens of a member of the Can~punulaceae have come to right. These specimens have been identified using basic Floras (1. 2) as T1.ucheliunr jacquillii (Sieber) Boiss. a genus previously unknown from Turkey. T).ucheIiunz (Can~ya~llilaceae) isclosely related to Canzpanula, but differs by having a narrower corolla tube not more than 2 mm wide (corolla tube more than 3 mm wide in Canzpamlla) and style much exserted from corolla (style not or little longer than corolla in Canzpunula). The genus has 3 species in Europe distributed through the west Mediterranean region, southern Bakans and Aegean Islands. It has not been recorded in Flora of Turkey (3,4' and the Flora of European Turkey (5).
