The revision of the genus Oxytropis (Leguminosae) in Turkey

A taxonomic revision of the genus Oxytropis DC. (Leguminosae) in Turkey is presented. According to the recent literature, the genus had 13 taxa in Turkey; however, at the end of our studies the number was reduced to 11. It was determined that Oxytropis engizekensis Duman & Vural is a synonym of O. persica Boiss., and O. fominii Grossh. is a synonym of O. argyroleuca Bornm. Red List categories of the taxa were re-evaluated according to our results based on IUCN Red List categories. | Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2013) 37: 24-38 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Article The revision of the genus Oxytropis (Leguminosae) in Turkey 1, 2 Seher KARAMAN ERKUL *, Zeki AYTAÇ Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Science, Aksaray University, 68100 Aksaray, Turkey 2 Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Gazi University, 06500 Teknikokullar, Ankara, Turkey 1 Received: Accepted: Published Online: Printed: Abstract: A taxonomic revision of the genus Oxytropis DC. (Leguminosae) in Turkey is presented. According to the recent literature, the genus had 13 taxa in Turkey; however, at the end of our studies the number was reduced to 11. It was determined that Oxytropis engizekensis Duman & Vural is a synonym of O. persica Boiss., and O. fominii Grossh. is a synonym of O. argyroleuca Bornm. Red List categories of the taxa were re-evaluated according to our results based on IUCN Red List categories. The Red List categories of O. pallasii Pers. and O. pilosa (L.) DC., which are ascribed as DD in the Red Data Book of Turkish Plants, were collected and defined in new threat categories after this study. In addition, phytogeographical areas for O. pallasii, O. pilosa, O. albana Steven, and O. lazica Boiss. are suggested here. Key words: Turkey, revision, Oxytropis, Leguminosae 1. Introduction Oxytropis DC. belongs to the subfamily Papilionoideae in the family Leguminosae (or Fabaceae) under the subtribe Astragalinae of the tribe Galegeae of a total number of approximately 300 species (Polhill, 1981; Lock & Schrire, 2005). Bunge (1874) classified 181 Oxytropis species into 4 subgenera and 19 sections. Two more subgenera and 9 new sections were added to the subgenera singled out by Bunge (Fedtschenko & Schischkin, 1948; Vasilchenko, 1966). De Candolle (1802) recognised 2 genera by splitting Linnaean Astragalus L. into Astragalus and Oxytropis .
