Jindtich Chrtek & Bohumil Slavik Contribution to the Flora of Cyprus. 4 Flora Mediterranea lO - 2000 235 Jindtich Chrtek & Bohumil Slavik Contribution to the flora of Cyprus. 4 Abstract Chrtek, J. & Slavik, B.: Contribution to the flora ofCyprus. 4. - FI. Medit. IO: 235-259. 2000. - ISSN 1120-4052. The results of a fourth floristic investigation of Cyprus are presented with notes on 159 taxa. Two new combinations are made: Pinus pa/lasiana subsp. caramanica and Ranunculus cyprius; Lathyrus aphaca subsp. cyprius is described as new. Bassia indica, Fumaria capreolata and Ga/ium divaricatum are reported as new for the Greek part of Cyprus and Lolium mu/tiflorum subsp. gaudini is found new for ali Cyprus. Many taxa are reported as new to one or more of the eight botanical divisions of Cyprus. The presence of some taxa has been confirmed after a long time. The chorology of some species is discussed in detail. Introduction This is a continuation of our previous contributions to the flora of Cyprus (Chrtek & Slavik 1981, 1993, 1994, Slavik & al. 1993). The taxa included are those contained in voI. l and only in two instances voI. 2 of the Flora of Cyprus (Meikle 1977, 1985). The arran­ gement oftaxa and nomenclature mostly follow this flora as does the use ofbotanical divi­ sions 1-8. This study is mainIy based on herbarium material by the Czech botanists 1. Dostal (Prague) and V. Vasak (Sumperk) and by the Austrian botanists L. Mucina (Vienna, now Stellenbosch), w. Franz, G. and G. Leute and J. Zeitlinger (Klagenfurt). The following abbreviations are used: C & S = 1. Chrtek & B. Slavik in ApriI 1978, D = J. Dostal in Aprii 1982, V = V. Vasak in November and December 1995, M = L. Mucina in August 1995, F = W. Franz in ApriI 1993, L = G. a G. Leute in Aprii 1993, Z = 1. Zeitlinger in ApriI 1986. Herbarium specimens ofthe fust five collectors are deposited in herbarium PR (pfÙhonice near Prague), the specimens of other fOUT collectors are deposited in KL (Klagenfurt). One hundred and fifty-nine taxa are reported from 261 localities in the Greek part of Cyprus. Three species are reported as new to the area: Fumaria capreolata, *Ga/ium diva­ ricatum and Bassia indica (the Iatter was found in the Turkish part of Cyprus in 1988 and 1992 by Viney; see Viney 1994: 552). Lolium multiflorum subsp. gaudini is reported for 236 Chrtek & Slavik: Contribution to the flora of Cyprus. 4. the frrst time for alI Cyprus. The latter two important data are published here even though they are not included in voI. 1 ofMeikle's flora. Taxonomic observations are provided for several species: Pinus pallasiana, Ranunculus cyprius, Glauciumflavum, Fumana thymi­ folia, Lathyrus aphaca and Linum spicatum; based on these studies, some new nomencla­ turaI combinations are proposed, including: Pinus pallasiana subsp. caramanica and Ranunculus cyprius, and a new subspecies, Lathyrus aphaca subsp. cyprius is described. Special attention was paid to the chorology of Linum strictum, L. spicatum and L. corym­ bulosum and dot maps showing their distribution were prepared. A number of the localities are new to some of the botanical divisions of Cyprus (consi­ dering not only Meikle 1977, but also our previous studi es of 1981, 1993 and 1994). These include four taxa for region NO.1 (Aizoon hispanicum, *Cakile maritima, Galium canum, Galium divaricatum), 3 taxa for region NO.2 (Glaucium leiocarpum, Lolium multiflorum subsp. gaudini, Medicago rugosa), 2 taxa for region NO.3 (Ferula communis, *Sagina apetala), 15 taxa for region NO.4 (Bassia indica, Brassica nigra, Daucus glaber, Fumaria bracteosa, Fumaria capreolata, *Fumaria parviflora, Geranium pusillum, Glaucium cor­ niculatum, Papaver rhoeas sùbsp. cyprius, *Paronychia macrosepala, Pseudorlaya pumi­ la, Pteranthus dichotomus, *Rubia tenuifolia, Torilis nodosa, Umbilicus rupestris). Regarding the fact that the present paper was sent to the·editorials of Flora Mediterranea as early as 1998, the contributions to the flora of Cyprus published after that date (Alzier 2000; Hand 2000) could not be taken into consideration. The species marked by an aste­ risk (*) are even reported from the same regions in the publications quoted above. Localities oftaxa contained in voI. 2 ofMeikle's flora will be considered in a following contribution.

Olympus, F 1776. Opinions as to the taxonomy of pines of the Pinus nigra Arnold and P pallasiana Lamb. groups differ considerably. The majority of botanists, mainly from the western part of the area, prefer a wide concept of P nigra distinguishing a number of subspecies including subsp.pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe (Novak in Klika & al. 1953, Zoller 1981, Greuter & al. 1984). Some botanists, mainly from the eastern part ofthe area (e.g. Post 1933, Èere­ panov 1981 , Barbariè & Lypa 1987) treat P pallasiana as a separate species. We are incli­ ned to follow the Iatter treatment. Throughout the area of this species there are several intraspecific taxa called, especially by foresters, "clirnatypes". A taxon "caramanica" was described from southern Anatolia; it also occurs in Cyprus. Rehder (1927, 1940), Chapman (1949) and Osorio-Tafall & Seraphim (1973) have noticed that it was different from subsp. pallasiana in Cyprus. We accept the opinion of the latter two authors that this is subsp. caramanica but we prefer to subordinate it to P pallasiana, not to P nigra.

Ranunculus cyprius belongs to the Ranunculus cadmicus Boiss. group described from Turkey (Boissier 1843:65). Later Boissier (1867:32) noticed that plants from Cyprus (in summo monti Troodos Cypri) differed somewhat from the typical Ranunculus cadmicus (grumae oblongo-cylindricae, petioli basi magis dilatati) and named them R.' cadmicus à 238 Chrtek & Slavik: Contribution to the flora of Cypruso 40 cyprius Boisso Rolmboe (1914:81), a connoisseur ofthe Cyprus flora, writes: "Judging from my materiaI, the characters distinguishing beta cyprius Boisso .... are not constant enough to give the plant growing on the Troodos rank as a separate variety"oHowever , he considered only the characters mentioned by Boissiero Vierhapper (in Vierhapper & Rechinger fil. 1935:132) having studied Ro cadmicus and reiated species in the eastem Mediterranean in detail, arrived at the conclusion that " Cyprius erscheint mir .. ojedenfalls so gut, dass ich ihm, im Gegensatze zu RoImboe (Cypro, po 81) mindestens den Rank einer Subspezies des Ro cadmicus einraumen mochte"o Davis (1965:182) also noticed the difference and observed: "Considerable leaf variation is shown in the Turkish material. The Cyprus popu­ lation differs in its larger achenes and longer cataphylls, and has been differenciated as subspo cyprius (Boisso) Vierho .. 0"0 Meikle (1977:52) points out the endemic character ofthe Cyprus plants which he refers to varo cyprius Boisso Re describes this variety as follows: "Leaves normally stained violet-purple below .. o; 5-7-10bed; "o Achenes larger and with a longer beak than in typical varo cadmicuso" Re goes on to say that "Turkish material of Ro cadmicus differs (perhaps constantly) in having 3-lobed leaves, apparently green on both sides, and Iacking the conspicuous basaI sheats of varo cyprius"o Greuter & al. (1989:428) report Ro cadmicus subspo cyprius (Boisso) Vierho as an endemic taxon of Cypruso We observed a number of plants of this taxon in the Troodos area and found the popula­ tions to be homogenous, corresponding to Meikle's concept. We arrived at the conclusion that the Cyprus pIants are best classified as a separate species differring from the closely related R cadmicus in a number of characters (colour and structure of leaves, size of ache­ nes and length of beak) which are of considerable importance in Ranunculuso Ranunculus chius DCo l.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

K OUGIOUMOUTZIS , A . T INIAKOU , O . G EORGIOU & T . G EORGIADIS The island of Folegandros, located between the Milos and Santorini archipelagos in the southern Kiklades (Greece), constitutes together with Ios and Sikinos the south-central part of the phytogeographical region of the Kiklades. Its flora consists of 474 taxa, 47 of which are under statutory protection, 40 are Greek endemics and 145 are reported here for the first time. We show that Folegandros has the highest percentage of Greek endemics in the phytogeographical area of the Kiklades. The known distribution of the endemic Muscari cycladicum subsp. cycladicum is expanded, being reported for the first time outside the South Aegean Volcanic Arc. The floristic cross-correlation between Folegandros and other parts of the phytogeographical region of the Kiklades by means of Sørensen’s index revealed that its phytogeographical affinities are stronger to Anafi Island than to any other part of the Kiklades. Keywords . Aegean flora , biodiversity , endemism , phytogeography . I NTRODUCTION The Aegean Sea has long attracted the attention of biogeographers (Turrill, 1929 ; Strid, 1996 ), since it is characterised by high environmental and topographical hetero- geneity (Blondel et al. , 2010 ), diversity and endemism (Strid, 1996 ). The Aegean archipelago consists of more than 7000 islands and islets (Triantis & Mylonas, 2009 ), most of which are located in the phytogeographical region of the Kiklades. Intensive field work has taken place in this region, which is characterised as one of the most floristically explored phytogeographical regions of Greece (Dimopoulos et al.

    OROBANCHE CLAUSONIS POMEL (OROBANCHACEAE) IN THE IBERIAN PENÍNSULA by MICHAEL JAMES YATES FOLEY* Resumen FOLEY, MJ.Y. (1996). Orobanche clausonis Pomel (Orobanchaceae) en la Península Ibérica. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 54:319-326 (en inglés). Orobanche clausonis Pomel fue descrita sobre plantas recolectadas en Argelia, donde parasi- taba a Asperula hirsuta (Rubiaceae). Desde entonces, ha sido colectada ocasionalmente en va- rias localidades del sudoeste de Europa, especialmente en la Península Ibérica. Sin embargo, es aún mal conocida. En este trabajo se estudian la morfología y la taxonomía de la especie y se propone que las plantas europeas queden cobijadas bajo el trinomen O. clausonis subsp. hes- perina (J.A. Guim.) MJ.Y.

Orobanche clausonis Pomel (Orobanchaceae) in the Iberian Península. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 54:319-326. Orobanche clausonis Pomel was first described frorn Algeria where it was thought to be para- sitic upon Asperula hirsuta (Rubiaceae). Since then, germine records have been scarce and al- though occasionally collected from various localities in south-westera Europe (especially the Iberian península), where it is mainly parasitic upon members of the Rubiaceae, its identity and taxonomy have been poorly understood. Based principally on the limited number of preserved specimens available, the general morphology and taxonomy of O. clausonis has been investi- gated. As a result, it is proposed that the European plants be separated as Orobanche clausonis subsp. hesperina (J.A. Guim.) MJ.Y. Foley, comb. & stat. nov. Key words: Spermatophyta, Orobanchaceae, Orobanche, taxonomy, Iberian Península, Algeria.

  • Rubiaceae): Evolution of Major Clades, Development of Leaf-Like Whorls, and Biogeography
    TAXON 59 (3) • June 2010: 755–771 Soza & Olmstead • Molecular systematics of Rubieae Molecular systematics of tribe Rubieae (Rubiaceae): Evolution of major clades, development of leaf-like whorls, and biogeography Valerie L. Soza & Richard G. Olmstead Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195-5325, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Valerie L. Soza, [email protected] Abstract Rubieae are centered in temperate regions and characterized by whorls of leaf-like structures on their stems. Previous studies that primarily included Old World taxa identified seven major clades with no resolution between and within clades. In this study, a molecular phylogeny of the tribe, based on three chloroplast regions (rpoB-trnC, trnC-psbM, trnL-trnF-ndhJ) from 126 Old and New World taxa, is estimated using parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Seven major clades are strongly supported within the tribe, confirming previous studies. Relationships within and between these seven major clades are also strongly supported. In addition, the position of Callipeltis, a previously unsampled genus, is identified. The resulting phylogeny is used to examine geographic distribution patterns and evolution of leaf-like whorls in the tribe. An Old World origin of the tribe is inferred from parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions. At least eight subsequent dispersal events into North America occurred from Old World ancestors. From one of these dispersal events, a radiation into North America, followed by subsequent diversification in South America, occurred. Parsimony and likelihood ancestral state reconstructions infer the ancestral whorl morphology of the tribe as composed of six organs. Whorls composed of four organs are derived from whorls with six or more organs.
