Abstract

The taxon Trifolium alexandrinum var. serotinum was collected from Osmaniye province in southern Türkiye and its existence is reported for the first time in this paper. The species Trifolium alexandrinum to which this variety belongs has a narrow and scattered distribution and is known from Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir, Konya, Mersin and Şanlıurfa. The characteristics of var. serotinum are indicated in detail, the points where it differs from the main variety are shown on a key, and the distribution of the species is displayed on a map. In addition, a new scientific Turkish name specific to this taxon has been assigned.

Türkiye İçin Yeni Bir Yonca Kaydı: Trifolium alexandrinum var. serotinum

Abstract

Trifolium alexandrinum var. serotinum taksonu Türkiye’nin güneyinde bulunan Osmaniye ilinden toplanarak varlığı ilk defa rapor edilmektedir. Trifolium alexandrinum var. alexandrinum taksonu dar ve dağınık bir yayılışa sahip olup Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Konya, Mersin ve Şanlıurfa’dan bilinmektedir. Yeni kayıt olan var. Serotinum taksonunun sahip olduğu karakterler detaylıca belirtilmiş, ana varyeteden ayrıldığı noktalar bir anahtar üzerinde gösterilmiş ve türlerin dağılımları bir harita üzerinde gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca bu taksona özgü yeni bilimsel Türkçe ad atanmıştır.
