Abstract

A new species, Muscari inundatum (Asparagaceae) from Turkey, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to M. neglectum and M. adilii, but differs mainly by its shouldered fertile flowers with erect to slightly recurved lobes at maturity. In this study, a comprehensive description, diagnostic characters, original photographs, detailed illustration, geographical distribution, conservation assessment, identification key, and taxonomic comments on the new species are presented.

Abstract

Allium serpenticola Eker, a new species in sect. Codonoprasum, is described and illustrated from Adana, Türkiye. It is similar to Allium stamineum Boissier, but different in many morphological characters, especially including colors of perigone, pedicels and anthers, length of spathe valves and their ratio to umbel, length of filaments and their ratio to perigone, anther size, constant style length, number of leaves, proportion of sheats surrounding scape, outer tunic colour and seed ornamentation. A comprehensive description of this species is provided, including detailed illustrations and photographs, geographical distribution, habitat and ecology, and IUCN conservation status. Micromorphological characteristics of A. serpenticola and A. stamineum seeds are also examined and compared using stereomicroscope and SEM analyses.
