New record for the flora of Türkiye: Allium montelburzense R.M. Fritsch, Y. Salmaki & SH. Zarre Allium sect. Scorodon (Amaryllidaceae)

Mehmet Fırat

Background and Aims: Allium montelburzense R.M. Fritsch, Y. Salmaki & SH. Zarre was introduced to the scientific world as a sect. Scorodon 2006 in Iran. Now it is given as a new record for the flora of Türkiye.

Methods: The specimens collected during the field studies carried out between July and September in the high mountainous regions of Hakkari and Van provinces between 1999 and 2023 were identified by comparison with the flora of the country and neighbouring countries.

Results: This species has been known from Iran until now, but for the first time a record is given from Türkiye. A detailed morphological picture, its photographs in its natural distribution area and the updated map of the distribution area are presented in the study.

Conclusion: In my 25 years of fieldwork and herbarium research, most of the specimens identified as Allium anacoleum Hand.-Mazz. have been misidentified (except the specimens from the type locality and from the vicinity of Elazığ). While writing about the flora of Türkiye, all of the high mountain specimens collected from Hakkari and Van are Allium montelburzense
