Salvia siirtica Kahraman, Celep & Dog. an sp. nov. (Lamiaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from the northern part of Siirt province in southeast Anatolia, Turkey, where it was found growing in open forests of Quercus. It is morphologically similar to S. indica L., but differs by having densely glandular pilose to villous stems and petioles, close verticillasters, smaller flowers, clearly concave calyx apices, entirely white corollas and smaller nutlets. Salvia siirtica and S. indica are also distinguished by their nutlet and pollen micromorphologies, illustrated by SEM images. The nutlet surface of S. siirtica is very finely wrinkled and its pollen has 3-4 primary lumina per 25 mu m(2), compared to 5-8 in S. indica. Conservation status assessment, distribution map, and notes on biogeography and ecology of the new species are provided.

Salvia marashica A. ilcim, F. Celep & Dogan sp. nova (Lamiaceae) is described from Turkey and illustrated. It is confined to C6 Kahramanmaras in South Anatolia where it flowers early in the year and grows on rocky mountain slopes. The diagnostic morphological characteristics from closely similar species are discussed. Notes are also presented on its ecology and pollen characteristics along with scanning electron micrographs of the calyx hairs. A distribution map of the new and the similar species is also pr...

Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. is reported for the first time from Turkey. This new record is confined to Cinar in Diyarbakir. The diagnostic morphological characters of S. spinosa L. are discussed. Notes are presented on its ecology and phenology. A distribution map of this new record is also given.
A New Variety of Salvia sericeotomentosa (Lamiaceae) from South Anatolia, Turkey
Celep, Ferhat; Doğan, Musa; Bagherpour, Safi; Kahraman, Ahmet (Missouri Botanical Garden Press, 2009-12-01)
Salvia sericeotomentosa Rechinger f. (Lamiaceae) was First collected by A. Eig and M. Zohary in 1932 and was described in 1952 by K. H. Rechinger, but since that time it has not been collected again from its type locality. Among specimens collected from the Amanos Mountains near Hatay Province, Turkey, in 2006, the taxon was rediscovered oil the basis of two different populations growing at low altitudes. These populations provide the type for the new variety S. sericeotomentosa var. hatayica Celep & Dogan,...
Nutlet micromorphology and its taxonomic and phylogenetic significance in Salvia (Lamiaceae)
Celep, Ferhat; KAHRAMAN, AHMET; Guerin, Greg R.; KARABACAK, ERSİN; AKAYDIN, GALİP; Doğan, Musa (Informa UK Limited, 2020-11-01)
Salvia (sage) is a species rich and medicinally important genus. Species-level identification is usually very difficult, particularly in closely related species. Here, we investigated nutlet micromorphological characteristics of 51 taxa belonging to S. subg. Salvia, S. subg. Sclarea and Salvia verticillata clade (S. subg. Heterosphace) by stereo binocular microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to show their taxonomic and phylogenetic value. The present study is the most comprehensive nutlet micromorpho...
