Abstract

In this study, the bryophyte flora of Ekecik Mountain was investigated. Based on the examination of bryophyte specimens collected from 20 different localities and habitats, a total of 123 taxa belonging to 16 families and 40 genera were determined. Marchantiophyta was represented by two taxa belonging to two families and two genera, while Bryophyta was represented by 121 taxa belonging to 14 families and 38 genera. Among them, 79 taxa are reported for the first time in the bryophyte flora of Aksaray. According to Henderson’s grid-square system of Türkiye, 18 taxa are reported for the first time from the B8 square and 4 taxa from the B7 square. While Pottiaceae (29 taxa), Brachytheciaceae (22) and Bryaceae (18) are the most species-rich families, Ptychostomum (12), Syntrichia (10), Orthotrichum (10) and Brachythecium (10) are the most species-rich genera. The taxa in the floristic list are presented in a table.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Ekecik Dağı’nın briyofit florası incelenmiştir. 20 istasyon ve farklı habitatlardan toplanan briyofit örneklerinin incelenmesi sonucunda; 16 familya ve 40 cinse ait 123 takson tespit edilmiştir. Marchantiophyta bölümü iki familya ve iki cinse ait iki taksonla temsil edilirken; Bryophyta bölümü 14 familya ve 38 cinse ait 121 taksonla temsil edilmiştir. Bunlar arasından 79 takson, Aksaray briyofit florası için ilk kez rapor edilmektedir. Henderson’un Türkiye kareleme sistemine göre; 18 takson B8 karesinden, 4 takson ise B7 karesinden ilk kez bildirilmektedir. Pottiaceae (29 takson), Brachytheciaceae (22) ve Bryaceae (18) en zengin familyalar iken; Ptychostomum (12), Syntrichia (10), Orthotrichum (10) ve Brachythecium (10) en çok türe sahip cinslerdir. Floristik liste tablo halinde sunulmuştur.
