The Presence of Berteroa incana (L.) DC. in Turkey

Abstract

Berteroa incana (L.) DC. (Cruciferae) is cited in first supplement of Flora of Turkey from Çilingoz (Thrace). But according to our field and herbarium studies, it was understood that this specimen is B. oblique not B. incana. For this reason in this study B. incana is given as a new record from Kars for the flora of Turkey. Detailed morphological description, including photograph, distribution map and pollen morphology are given.
