Abstract

Omphalodes turcica is described, shortly introduced, and illustrated as a new species from the North of Türkiye. It is a distinct species, easily distinguishable from its close relatives by its longer pedicels, smaller corollas, and larger nutlets. In habit, flower color, and leaf shape, it resembles Omphalodes luciliae, which is known from Türkiye, Iraq, and Iran. Also, a new species-level combination, Omphalodes pisidica (O. luciliae subsp. pisidica), is proposed based on a subspecies described from Isparta and Antalya Provinces (Türkiye).

Özet

Omphalodes turcica, Türkiye'nin kuzeyinden yeni bir tür olarak tanımlanmış, kısaca tanıtılmış ve resimlendirilmiştir. Daha uzun çiçek sapları, daha küçük taç yaprakları ve daha büyük meyveleri ile yakın akrabalarından kolayca ayırt edilebilen, farklı bir türdür. Görünümü, çiçek rengi ve yaprak şekli bakımından, Türkiye, Irak ve İran'dan bilinen Omphalodes luciliae'ye benzer. Ayrıca, Isparta ve Antalya illerinden (Türkiye) tanımlanan bir alt türe dayanarak, Omphalodes pisidica (O. luciliae subsp. pisidica) şeklinde yeni bir tür düzeyinde kombinasyon önerilmektedir.
