The rediscovery of Silene surculosa Hub.-Mor. endemic for Turkey

Abstract

Silene surculosa Hub.-Mor. Caryopyllaceae was first collected in 1951 by Huber-Morath from PülümürMutu Tunceli . After that it was lastly collected from Pülümür by Davis and Hedge. Based on these two samples, it was introduced to the scientific world by Huber-Morath in 1967. It is an endemic species that is known from just two localities close together. Despite the investigations till today, there was found no trace of this species in the nature, and thus it has been evaluated as Extinct EX according to the World Conservation Union Red List Categories. By this study, firstly, the species was recollected in nature. Secondly, its description was rewritten comprehensively. Thirdly, its pollens and seeds were examined under the SEM Scanning Electron Microscope and LM Light Microscope . Lastly, the new IUCN category for the species was suggested

Türkiye için endemik olan Silene surculosa Hub.-Mor. türünün yeniden keşfi

Abstract

Silene surculosa Hub.-Mor. Caryopyllaceae ilk olarak 1951 yılında Huber-Morath tarafından Pülümür- Mutu Tunceli arasından toplanmıştır. Son olarak Davis ve Hedge tarafından Pülümür’den toplanmıştır. Bu iki örneğe dayanılarak 1967 yılında Huber-Morath tarafından bilim dünyasına tanıtılmıştır. Sadece birbirine yakın iki lokaliteden bilinen endemik bir türdür. Günümüze değin yapılan araştırmalarda izine rastlanamayan bu türün IUCN kriterlerine göre doğada yok olduğu kabul edilmiştir. Bu çalışmayla, tür doğada yeniden toplanmış, deskripsiyonu yeniden yazılmış, polen ve tohumları SEM Taramalı Elektron Mikroskobu ve LM Işık Mikroskobu ’de incelenmiş, ayrıca tür için yeni IUCN kategorisi önerilmiştir
