Document Converted With Southwest Turkey A Greentours Trip Report 21st March – 2nd April 2010 Led by Başak Gardner Day 1 Journey to Antalya 21.03.10 I met the group at the airport and directly drove to the hotel. It was around 10 pm. Day 2 Journey to Ibradı 22.03.10 With good news from the meteorology the tour started. Alpine Swifts were flying around and Yellow-vented Bulbuls were singing from the roof as we were having our breakfast by the pool. A very short visit to the bank to change and get some money gave a chance for the group to take some pictures of the castle walls and gate. We even did some botanizing. The walls of the very old houses in the old town were almost covered by Cymbalaria longipes. We were on the road before 10 am and our first stop was by a graveyard where Pyrus serikensis, which is an endangered endemic pear tree, was in full bloom. But the main plant we were looking for was a bit over, however we managed to find some fresh reticulately-patterned Iris masia. Along with these were some Muscari comosum, Anemone coronaria and a single plant of Gladiolus italicus. Val spotted our first butterfly an Eastern Festoon and both Large White and Orange Tip were also seen as well as Danford’s Lizard. We made another stop both to have lunch and to look for some Ophrys. Along an old track by the picnic site we encountered many Ophrys mammosa spikes in good flower. We had a good lunch with some Turkish tea our driver prepared for us among the Bellis annua flowers. Driving along the road stopping for several photo stops we reached our destination for many good species. First we noted Hyacinthella heldreichii and a lovely Gagea peduncularis and searching the area a bit more produced a nice Fritillaria elwesii and several spikes of Orchis anatolica. Daphne sericea impressed everyone by its showy pink flowers and nice scent. We turned back from this point stopping once more to photograph a fully flowered Cercis siliquastrum with a superb view of Taurus Mountains. Back on the main road to Akseki another stop by some rock boulders produced the plant of the day for me, Muscari muscarimi. Although they required a little bit of climbing everyone managed to photograph the sweetly scented plants. I wish there was a way to paste this scent to the pictures There were other Muscari species waiting for us further along the Ibradi road now. Muscari anatolicum with white tips to the flowers and Muscari armeniacum with its nice purplish blue 1 colour were flowering on the same hillside. Just before we left Val spotted another Fritillaria that turned out to be Fritillaria elwesii again. Soon we were at the hotel where the friendly owners had prepared a traditional dinner for us. It didn’t take long to get relaxed after dinner in the warm room. Day 3 Gembos Yayla 23.03.10 Our welcoming owner prepared a great breakfast full of local tastes and a speciality home made flat bread with cheese and parsley in it. We departed for Gembos with full sunshine. As we climbed the spectacular clear views of mountains made us stop several times picking up Green-veined White as the first butterfly of the day. The reason for our next stop were sunbathing Agamas on the rocks. Jay, Mistle Thrush, Serin and Coal Tits were flitting around the impressive Cedrus libani and Abies cilicica trees some with Viscum album on them. When we examined a bit closer around us we found Viola heldreichiana flowering right by the van. As we were driving to our main location we spotted Hoopoe and White Wagtail. Our main location was such a heaven. We had just enough time before lunch to examine some of the area looking first at Eranthis hyemalis as it was the main plant in the area. Among them there were many Crocus hybrids between Crocus chrysanthus and Crocus biflorus ssp. isauricus. We managed to find a few pure Crocus biflorus ssp. isauricus. Scilla bifolia were at their best flowering under the shades of trees. Corydalis wendelboi, Gagea foliosa and Ornithogalum oligophyllum were the other beauties of the area. We had a good look at Krüper’s Nuthatch before we had lunch by a very old Juniper tree. After lunch we stayed in the same area, maybe just one hundred metres further back. Both sides of the main road were covered by Crocus chrysanthus and some hybrids too. In a small wet area we encountered some Colchicum szovitzii and Ranunculus ficaria. We started to walk up hill towards snow patches slowly and had to stop every five minutes to photograph something on the ground. On this side of the hill we also noted white and blue colored Anemone blanda. A few Rock Buntings showed well as well as Chaffinches and as I was showing the impressive cones of Juniperus drupacea a Rock Nuthatch screamed and revealed himself. A huge group of Alpine Choughs flew across as we heading towards the top of the hill where another very nice surprise was waiting for us with what we all decided that was the best Crocus biflorus ssp. isauricus clump of the day. Finally we decided to go back and made several stops by the very old houses in the town also seeing a Syrian Woodpecker very well. Dinner was taken in the cosy dining room. Day 4 Uzumdere, Kuyucak, Bademli 24.03.10 We had a very productive early birdwatching session starting with several Syrian Woodpeckers tapping, drumming and screaming, then good views of two Lesser-spotted 2 Woodpeckers. Walking in the orchards we saw a singing Rüppell’s Warbler and Jay, Corn Bunting and Bonelli’s Warbler were also seen during the session. After another good breakfast and just before we arrived at the Manavgat River a big flock of Alpine Swifts flew over. We first stopped by the river to examine the rocks on the side with Conringia grandiflora and Valeriana dioscoridis that were attractive to butterflies like Brimstone and Orange Tip. We made three more brief stops along the river the first for another good view of Rüppell’s Warbler, the second was for a huge worn moth very similar to an Emperor Moth and the third to search for Iris pamphylica among the rocks. When we met the river again we stopped where Thalictrum orientale was showing well for photographers. On the side of a little stream two Large Tortoiseshells were fluttering. Driving through Pine forest we criss-crossed little rivers several times before we reached our lunch spot where we could also see Romulea bulbocodium ssp. crocea. A group of them were shining in the sun giving good shots to everyone. Val saw a female Lacerta pamphylica that quickly disappeared. We were on the road again intent on finding Iris stenophylla but when we came to the location, we saw that all Iris were finished already but Fritillaria pinardii were all flowering instead. It was getting cool and late so we returned to the hotel giving some time for checklists before dinner. Day 5 Cimi Yayla 25.03.10 The sun was shining again this morning as we were having our breakfast and it stayed with us all day. We headed for Cimi Yayla. Our first few stops produced great birds such as Finsch’s Wheatear and Black-eared Wheatear and there was a fresh Nettle-tree Butterfly flying together with Large Tortoiseshell. Passing through the fields we arrived at a rocky area where we encountered Muscari anatolicum in the crevices, a male Rüppell’s Warbler was singing beautifully on top of an Abies tree and there were also Coal Tits around. Some of us had to chase a False Apollo for a while to get a good pose. In the open area a little bit further on we saw the interesting Berberidaceae family member Leontice leontopetalum flowering well. Shortly after moving we stopped again seeing a Snowfinch briefly and there were Rock Nuthatch and Sombre Tit as well. We drove up to almost 1600 meters and found a good spot for lunch by a spring. Checking the area we encountered many bulbs again. A very deep coloured Crocus hybrid (Crocus biflorus subspecies isauricus X Crocus chrysanthus) was good to see and a pure yellow Crocus chrysanthus was photographed at the same spot as well. Ornithogalum weidemannii was flowering too and there were many Leontice leontopetalum still in bud. After lunch we walked down for a while which was very productive first watching a Northern Wheatear, then views of Krüper’s Nuthatch, Sombre and Coal Tit and Chiffchaff in a small area made all of us happy. Peter even managed to get a good picture of Sombre Tit. Walking down the road just by the roadside we found a small colony of Corydalis oppositifolia and on the other side of the road there was a superb big rock full with so many colours of Muscari armeniacum 3 and Muscari anatolicum, Aubrieta canescens and Silene aegyptiaca. The light was also superb which I am sure helped everyone’s pictures. We were back in the bus to make our way back home. Two brief stops for Asphodeline lutea and very clear views of Finsch’s Wheatear were made and then we made one last stop for cultural purposes by the village of Cimi before we drove back to Ibradi where visiting the old graveyard of Ibradi produced Fritillaria elwesii and Muscari caucasicum. There was also time to visit the monumental Sweet Chestnut Tree that is said to be 850 years old.

ÖZET Türkiye, flora açısından Avrupa ve Ortadoğu’nun en zengin ülkelerinden biridir. Yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı floramızın bir parçası olan Gagea Salisb türlerine ilgi çekmektir. Bu nedenle, 2000-2006 yılları arasında Muğla İlinin Gagea Salisb türleri incelenmiştir. Bu bölgede 8 tür bulunmaktadır. Bu türlerden biri endemik (G. bithynica Pascher), biri ise C2 (Muğla) karesi için (G. bohemica (Zauschn.) Schultes & Schultes) yeni kayıttır. Bölge genelde dağlık ve kayalık arazi yapısına sahip olduğundan, Gagea Salisb türleri antropogen faktörlerin etkisine çok fazla maruz kalmamıştır. Ancak, G. fibrosa (Desf.) Schultes & Schultes fil (Kötekli Köyü) ve G. juliae Pascher (Yaraş Köyü ve Kavaklıdere Mevkii) türlerinin durumu farklıdır. Bu türlerin yayılış gösterdiği ve Muğla’ya çok yakın olan yerleşim birimlerinde ki inşaat faaliyetlerindeki artış, lokalitelerin büyük çoğunluğunun yüksek dağlık arazide bulunması ve bu yerlerde hayvan otlatılması, bu türlerin populasyonunu daraltmaktadır. Bu durum da zaman içinde türlerin devamlılığının tehlikeye girmesine neden olabilecektir. İleride bu türlerin fitokimyasal yapısının öğrenilmesine yönelik çalışmaların artması ve fitokimyasal özelliklerinin ortaya koyulması Gagea Salisb türlerinin ilaç yapımında kullanılması konusunda farmakologların dikkatini çekebilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Gagea Salisb, Liliaceae, Muğla, Flora. GAGEA SALISB SPECIES AROUND MUĞLA PROVINCE ABSTRACT Turkey is one of the richest countries in terms of flora in Europea and Middle East. The aim of this study, to arouse the interest to Gagea Salisb species which is part of our flora. Therefore, Gagea species was investigated around Muğla province in 2000-2006.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

WILSON Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA (carol. wilson@ cgu. edu) ABSTRACT Subgeneric groups have been circumscribed in Iris based on a small number of morphological characters. Recent DNA sequence data has indicated that several of the subgenera, sections, and series that have previously been delineated are paraphyletic or polyphyletic. The evolution of characters that have traditionally been used to distinguish sub generic and sectional groups within Iris was investigated by mapping these characters on a phylogenetic tree based on matK sequence data. Results indicate that rhizomes are pleisomorphic for the genus and that three bulb types have arisen independently. My analysis shows that sepal beards, sepal crests, and seed arils show extensive homoplasy. Most of the homoplasy seen is associated with the circumscription of polyphyletic subgeneric groups such as the beardless subgenus Limniris. Some additional homoplasy is due to diversity within supported clades or the historical use of a single character in circumscribing more than one subgeneric group.

Again, we are coming to you with a new catalogue and again we are including many new varieties in it, probably not so many as we would like, but our stocks do not increase as fast as the demand for our bulbs. We hope for many more novelties in the next catalogue. Last season we had one more successful expedition – we found and collected 3 juno irises never before cultivated (we hope that they will be a good addition to our Iris collection) and many other nice plants, too. In garden we experienced a very difficult season. The spring came very early – in the first decade of April the temperature unexpectedly rose up to +270 C, everything came up, flowered and finished flowering in few days and then during one day the temperature fell as low as –80 C. A lot of foliage was killed by a returned frost. As a result the crop of bulbs was very poor. The weather till the end of June was very dry – no rain at all, only hot days followed by cold nights. But then it started to rain. There were days with the relative air humidity up to 98%. The drying of harvested bulbs was very difficult. I was forced to clean one of my living rooms in my house, to heat it and to place there the boxes with Allium and Tulipa bulbs to save them from Penicillium.

  • New Localities of Ophrys Insectifera (Orchidaceae) in Bulgaria
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE BALKAN SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE OF BIOLOGY IN PLOVDIV (BULGARIA) FROM 19TH TILL 21ST OF MAY 2005 (EDS B. GRUEV, M. NIKOLOVA AND A. DONEV), 2005 (P. 312–320) NEW LOCALITIES OF OPHRYS INSECTIFERA (ORCHIDACEAE) IN BULGARIA Tsvetomir Tsvetanov1,*, Vladimir Vladimirov1, Antoaneta Petrova2 1 - Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria 2 - Botanical Garden, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria * - address for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Two new localities of Ophrys insectifera (Orchidaceae) has been found in the Buynovo and Trigrad gorges in the Central Rhodope Mountains. The species had been previously known from a single locality in the Golo Bardo Mountain, where only one specimen had been detected recently. Therefore, the species was considered as an extremely rare in the Bulgarian flora and included in the Annex 3 (Protected species) to the national Biodiversity Act. A total of ca. 25 individuals has been found in the two new localities. Assessment of the species against the IUCN Red List Criteria at national level resulted in a national category “Critically endangered” (CR C2a(i)+D), based on the very small number of individuals in the populations, the limited area of occupancy and severely fragmented locations. KEY WORDS: new chorological data, Ophrys, Orchidaceae, critically endangered species, Rhodope Mts INTRODUCTION Ophrys is among the taxonomically most intricate vascular plant genera in the European flora. Following the taxonomic concept of Delforge (1995) it is represented with 5 species in the Bulgarian flora - O. apifera Huds., O. cornuta Steven, O. insectifera L., O. reinholdii H.

Dr. Çağatay Tavşanoğlu Haziran 2019, x + 61 sayfa Akdeniz havzasının coğrafi konumu, iklim tipi ve kendi içindeki değişkenliği, insan etkisi, yangının yaygın bir etmen olması ve bitki çeşitliliği bölgeyi bitki ekolojisi çalışmaları için ideal bir alan yapmaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasında, Akdeniz havzasında yapılmış olan çalışmaların bulguları ve verileri kullanılarak çimlenme hızı verileri içeren bir veri tabanı oluşturulmuştur. Bu veri tabanı kullanılarak çimlenme hızının sıcaklık şoku ve duman uygulamaları ile inkübasyon sıcaklığından nasıl etkilendiği incelenmiştir. Bitkilerin büyüme şekli, sürgün verme yeteneği ve familyasının çimlenme hızı üzerindeki etkileri de çalışma kapsamında araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, büyüme şeklinin Akdeniz Havzası bitkilerinde çimlenme hızının önemli bir belirleyicisi olduğu ve tek yıllık bitkilerin çok yıllık otsu ve odunsu türlere göre daha hızlı çimlendiği bulunmuştur. Büyüme şekli
