Abstract

This study was conducted between 2020 and 2023 through fieldwork carried out across the Isparta province in southwestern Türkiye, aiming to determine the distribution, morphological characteristics, and habitat preferences of species belonging to the genus Sideritis. As a result of the research, a total of 14 taxa were identified in the region (S. condensata Boiss. & Heldr., S. congesta P.H. Davis & Hub.-Mor., S. cilicica Boiss. & Balansa, S. dichotoma Huter, S. erythrantha Boiss. & Heldr. subsp. erythrantha, S. hispida P.H. Davis, S. libanotica Labill. subsp. libanotica,, S. libanotica Labill. subsp. linearis (Benth.) Bornm., S. leptoclada O. Schwarz & P.H. Davis, Sideritis perfoliata L., S. pisidica Boiss. & Heldr., S. phrygia Bornm. S. syriaca L. subsp. nusairiensis (Post) Hub.-Mor. and S. stricta Boiss. & Heldr.). Twelve of these taxa, excluding S. libanotica subsp. libanotica and S. perfoliata, are endemic to Türkiye. Morphological characters of each taxon, such as leaf and flower structure, were measured in 50 individuals. The tallest plant was recorded as S. perfoliata (81.1 cm), while the shortest was S. condensata (24.7 cm). The habitats in which these taxa were observed typically included stony and rocky slopes, forest gaps, maquis clearings, and roadsides. These sites were found on slopes ranging from 5% to 45% and at elevations between 331 m and 2565 m. These results indicate that Sideritis species exhibit broad ecological tolerance and can adapt to a wide range of altitudinal zones.

Özet

Bu çalışma, 2020-2023 yılları arasında Isparta ili genelinde yürütülen arazi çalışmalarıyla, Sideritis cinsine ait türlerin yayılışları, morfolojik özellikleri ve habitat tercihlerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, bölgede toplam 14 taksonun (S. condensata Boiss. & Heldr., S. congesta P.H. Davis & Hub.-Mor., S. cilicica Boiss. & Balansa, S. dichotoma Huter, S. erythrantha Boiss. & Heldr. subsp. erythrantha, S. hispida P.H. Davis, S. libanotica Labill. subsp. libanotica,, S. libanotica Labill. subsp. linearis (Benth.) Bornm., S. leptoclada O. Schwarz & P.H. Davis, Sideritis perfoliata L., S. pisidica Boiss. & Heldr., S. phrygia Bornm. S. syriaca L. subsp. nusairiensis (Post) Hub.-Mor. and S. stricta Boiss. & Heldr.) yayılış gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Bu taksonlardan on ikisi, S. libanotica subsp. libanotica ve S. perfoliata hariç olmak üzere, Türkiye’ye endemiktir. Her bir taksona ait 50 birey üzerinde yaprak ve çiçek yapısı gibi morfolojik karakterler ölçülmüş; en uzun bitki boyunun S. perfoliata’da (81,1 cm), en kısa boyun ise S. condensata’da (24,7 cm) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Taksonların yayılış gösterdiği habitatlar genellikle taşlık ve kayalık yamaçlar, orman içi ve maki açıklıkları ile yol kenarları olup, %5–45 eğim aralığında; 331 m ile 2565 m arasında değişen rakımlarda yer almaktadır. Bu durum, Sideritis türlerinin geniş bir ekolojik toleransa sahip olduğunu ve farklı yükseklik kuşaklarında adapte olabildiğini göstermektedir.
