Abstract
A new species of Haplophyllum, Haplophyllumermenekense (Rutaceae) is described and illustrated in line drawing. It grows on stony slopes of Ermenek town, Karaman province, in southern Turkey. It is compared with the closely related species H.myrtifolium. H.ermenekense is distinguished from the morphologically similar H myrtifolium chiefly by sepal shape, petal size, capsule size, presence of capsule hair and appendage form. On the other hand, the seed coat and pollen grains surface of H.ermenekense and H.myrtifolium are demonstrated in SEM photographs. In addition to the detailed description, the illustration, distribution map, conservation status and ecology of the new species are also provided.
Highlights
With its 69 species, Haplophyllum Jussieu is one of the richest genera in the Rutaceae family (Townsend 1986, Navarro et al 2004, Soltani and Khosravi 2005, Tugay and Ulukuş 2017)
The aim of this study is to describe the new species, H. ermenekense, found in Ermenek and to compare it with similar species, especially H. myrtifolium Boiss., based on evidence from morphology and palynology
The pollen micromorphology of H. ermenekense and H. myrtifolium were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques
Summary
With its 69 species, Haplophyllum Jussieu is one of the richest genera in the Rutaceae family (Townsend 1986, Navarro et al 2004, Soltani and Khosravi 2005, Tugay and Ulukuş 2017). Some authors have endeavoured to subdivide Haplophyllum into different sections by using morphological characters (Spach 1849, Boissier 1867, Engler 1896, Vvedensky 1949, Townsend 1986).
