Abstract

Oenanthe millefolia (Apiaceae), which is presented as a new recorded species for the Turkish flora, was discovered for the first time in Kırklareli province of Turkey. It is also reported as a new species for the Greek flora based on an unidentified specimen which was collected from the Thrace region of Greece. In this study, an expanded morphological description, the geographical distribution, the habitat properties and the ecological features of the species are exhibited with illustrative figures. Moreover, the micromorphological and anatomical characters of the fruits and the anatomical properties of the stem, petiole, leaves and the palynological features of Oenanthe millefolia are determined and described for the first time.

Highlights

The genus Oenanthe L. is represented by nearly 35-40 species in the world and 8 species in Turkey (Hedge and Lamond 1972, Duman 2000)
Some unusual specimens were collected from the Kırklareli province of Turkey during a project dealing with the revision of Turkish representatives of the genus Oenanthe
After consulting literature dealing with the flora of the adjacent regions and checking the herbarium vouchers, these materials were preliminarily identified as Oe. millefolia Janka (Cook 1981)

Summary

Introduction

The genus Oenanthe L. is represented by nearly 35-40 species in the world and 8 species in Turkey (Hedge and Lamond 1972, Duman 2000). Some unusual specimens were collected from the Kırklareli province of Turkey during a project dealing with the revision of Turkish representatives of the genus Oenanthe. These specimens were clearly different from all the taxa of the genus distributed in Turkey (Hedge and Lamond 1972, Duman 2000). Detailed investigations of literature and the herbarium vouchers show that Oe. millefolia and Oe. bulgarica are morphologically very similar taxa (Velenovsky 1898, Hedge and Lamond 1972, Cook 1981, Duman 2000).
