RESUMO
Dianthus multiflorus from Gazipasa (Antalya), south Anatolia (Turkey), is described as a new annual species with verrucose calyx. The morphological differences from the species within the same group with Dianthus multiflorus, which are Dianthus aydogdui, Dianthus cyri and Dianthus tripunctatus, are discussed. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat category and observations on the ecology of the populations are noted. The karyology and seed micromorphology of Dianthus multiflorus and Dianthus tripunctatus were examined by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
RESUMO
Centaureaziganensis Yüzb., M. Bona & I. Genç, a new species is described and illustrated from Gümüshane province, NE Turkey. The new species grows in rocky places on the south face of Zigana Mountains, and is closely related to Centaureadrabifolioides, from which it differs mainly in stem, achene and phyllary appendage characters. Micromorphological structures of achenes and karyological features of Centaureaziganensis and Centaureadrabifolioides were examined in this study.
