Authors:

Abstract and Figures

Peucedanum guvenianum Yıldırım & H.Duman is described as a species new to science. It is endemic to the West Anatolia region of Turkey. It is known from a single locality in İzmir Province. P. guvenianum shows similarities to P. longifolium, P. ruthenicum, and P. vourinense. Diagnostic morphological characters are discussed and compared with those of closely related taxa. It is easily distinguished from related species especially by its stem 130-220 cm tall, distinctly striate, densely branched from below the middle to upper part; basal leaves 28-40 cm long and 20-70 cm wide; bracts linear-lanceolate and erect; petals emarginate at apex; mericarp 7.2-14 x 4.3-8 mm, oblong to oblong-orbicular, ±± two times longer from pedicel.

1. Introduction
e family Apiaceae comprises 100 genera and a total of
505 taxa (477 species) in Turkey, where 167 of the taxa
are endemic (Güner et al., 2012). e genera Aegokeras
Raf., Ekimia H.Duman & M.F.Watson, Postiella Kljuykov,
Microsciadium Boiss., and Crenosciadium Boiss. & Heldr.
ex Boiss. are endemic for Turkey (Pimenov and Leonov,
1993).
e genus Peucedanum L., represented by ca. 100–120
species and mainly distributed in Eurasia and Africa,
is characterized by attened fruits with well-developed
lateral wings and without prominent dorsal ribs (Pimenov
and Leonov, 1993; Ostroumova and Pimenow, 1997). It
is a very complex and heterogeneous genus in the family
Apiaceae (Pimenov and Leonov, 1993). Menemen (2012)
specied that the genus Peucedanum included 22 taxa in
Turkey (21 species and an infraspecic taxa), and 9 of
them are endemic according to the most recent checklist
for the Turkish ora (Chamberlain, 1972; Davis et al.,
1988; Güner et al., 2000; Parolly and North, 2004; Parolly
and North, 2005; Akpulat and Akalın, 2010; Menemen,
2012).
To date, some authors have separated many smaller
genera from Peucedanum based on morphological or
molecular studies, including Cervaria Wolf; Holandrea
Reduron, Charpin & Pimenov; Imperatoria L.; Oreoselinum
Adans.; Pteroselinum Rchb.; ysselinum Adans.;
Tommasinia Bertol; and Xanthoselinum Schur (Leute,
1966; Pimenov, 1987a, 1987b, 1987c; Frey, 1989; Pimenov
and Leonov, 1993; Reduron et al., 1997; Spalik et al., 2004).
As a result of recent eldwork conducted between
the Menderes and Gümüldür districts in İzmir Province,
West Anatolia (Turkey), a population of Peucedanum
was found in maquis vegetation and Pinus brutia Ten.
openings near the Tahtalı Dam in İzmir Province. Aer
detailed macro- and micromorphological and carpological
research, it was concluded that the collected Peucedanum
specimens diered from all of the other species by their
morphological characters. It was considered a new species
without closely related species. On the other hand, it
showed some morphological similarities to Peucedanum
longifolium Waldst. & Kit., P. ruthenicum M.Bieb., and P.
vourinense (Leute) Hartvig (Tutin, 1968; Chamberlain,
1972; Hartvig, 1986).
2. Materials and methods
is study is based on eld, herbarium, and literature
surveys. e herbarium specimens of Peucedanum
(including type specimens, their photographs, or digital
images) conserved at E, EGE, GAZI, HUB, and ISTE were
studied. e material of the new species was compared
with the relevant literature (Tutin, 1968; Chamberlain,
1972; Hartvig, 1986; Rechinger, 1987; Davis et al., 1988;
Pimenov and Leonov, 1993, 2004; Pimenov, 1987a, 1987b,

stereobinocular microscope. Pollen slides were prepared
using Wodehouse’s technique (1935) for light microscopy.
ese preparations were measured under a Leica ICC50 HD
light microscope. Measurements were taken for at least 30
pollen grains for each morphological characteristic. Fruits
were examined by stereomicroscope and scanning electron
microscope (SEM). Macromorphological observations
were done using a Leica EZ4D stereomicroscope. Twenty
mature fruits were measured for the average sizes. For SEM
studies, dried pollen grains and mericarps were transferred
onto stubs and then coated with gold. ey were observed
and photographed with a JEOL JSM 6060 SEM at 15 kV.
e pollen terminology was adopted from Faegri and
Iversen (1992) and Punt et al. (1994, 2007). e class of
pollen shape, based partly on P/E ratio, was identied
using Erdtmans system (1969). For fruit anatomy, dried
fruit samples were placed in a boiling water for 5 min and
subsequently xed in FAA (50% ethanol, 10% formalin,
5% acetic acid) for 24 h. Samples were washed later with
water and anatomical studies were carried out on the
transverse sections of the fruit using the paran method.
ese sections were stained with safranin-fast green and
mounted using Entellan (Johansen, 1944). Photographs
were taken using a Leica ICC50 HD light microscope.
Terminology follows Barthlott (1981) and Ostroumova
and Pimenov (1997).

3.5. Etymology
e new species was named in honor of Turkish botanist
Prof Dr Güven Görk, who is an expert on the ora of
Turkey. e Turkish name of this species is given as
“Eferezenesi”, according to the guidelines of Menemen et
al. (2013).

3.7. Suggested conservational status
e occupancy area (AOO) of Peucedanum guvenianum
was calculated as 7.5 km2, in which about 500 individuals
were estimated to occur. Overgrazing by sheep and goat
herds on nearby individuals to the soil level was also
observed. Moreover, the anthropogenic eects, including
littering, observed on the population had likely severely
harmed the individuals of P. guvenianum. us, from the
criteria laid out by the IUCN (2016), P. guvenianum is here
assessed as ‘Critically Endangered’ (CR) B2ab (iii,v), on
account of its restricted distribution and anthropogenic
eects on the population.
3.8. Distribution and ecology
Peucedanum guvenianum is locally endemic to İzmir
Province, West Anatolia. It is an element belonging to the
Mediterranean oristic region. e new species grows in the
maquis vegetation and opening Pinus brutia area, between
220 and 270 m a.s.l. in the triangle of the Seferihisar,
Menderes, and Gümüldür districts in İzmir. Species growing
in the near vicinity include Arbutus andrachne L., Arbutus
unedo L., Asparagus acutifolius L., Centranthus calcitrapa
(L.) Dufr., Cerotonia siliqua L., Cistus creticus L., Dittrichia
viscosa (L.) Greuter, Lavandula stoechas L. subsp. stoechas,
Lavetera puctata All., Lonicera caprifolium L., Lupinus
micranthus Guss., Origanum onites L., Osyris alba L.,
Phillyrea latifolia L., Pistacia lentiscus L., Satureja thymbra
L., and Verbascum rupicola (Hayek et Siehe) Hub.-Mor.
4. Discussion
According to recent molecular studies on Peucedanum
s. str. and segregated genera from Peucedanum s. lato,
which are Xanthoselinum, Pteroselinum, Tommasinia, and
Oreoselinum, they are closely related to each other and to
Peucedanum s. str. taxa (Spalik et al., 2004). On the other
hand, the other segregated genera from Peucedanum
s. lato, Cervaria and Holandrea, distinctly dier from
Peucedanum s. str. based on molecular and morphological
evidence (Pimenov and Leonov, 1993; Reduron et al.,
1997; Spalik et al., 2004).
Furthermore, Spalik et al. (2004) revealed close
relations among the Peucedanum s. str. taxa based on
ITS sequences studies. e taxa in Peucedanum s. str. Are
similar in habit, sharing not only mericarp characters but
also linear-liform leaf lobes (Pimenov and Leonov, 1993;
Spalik et al., 2004). P. guvenianum is found in Peucedanum
s. str. based on linear-liform leaf lobes and dorsally
compressed orthospermous mericarp without prominent
dorsal ribs and with a broad commissure.
P. guvenianum morphological shows some similarities
especially to P. longifolium, P. ruthenicum, and P. vourinense.
P. guvenianum is characterized by stem 130–220 cm
tall; many-branched from near the base to the top of the
stem; ultimate leaf lobes up to 10 cm and relatively bigger
basal leaves and mericarps compared to related species.
P. guvenianum also shows some similarities to P.
ocinale L., which is the type species of Peucedanum s. str.,
distributed from Central and South Europe to SE England.
P. ocinale is easily separated from P. guvenianum by stem
60–120 cm tall (not 130–220 cm); 15–40 rays per umbel
(not 7–16); umbellules including more than 30 owers (not
8–19); pedicels 20–40 mm long (not 3–8 mm); population
found on grassy slopes at 1000–1800 m in altitude (not in
maquis and between 200–250 m in altitude). However, all
related taxa (P. longifolium, P. ruthenicum, P. vourinense,
and also P. ocinale) of P. guvenianum are distributed
from high altitudes, mostly in subalpine mountain areas.
P. guvenianum is a Mediterranean phytogeographical
area element. e population of it was found in maquis
vegetation at lower altitudes (200–250 m).
e detailed dierences among P. guvenianum and
closely related taxa P. longifolium, P. ruthenicum, and P.
vourinense are listed in the Table.

... Sixteen Peucedanum species (14 + 2 doubtfully species) in 4 sections are presented in the Flora of Turkey, after publishing Flora of Turkey, the total number has reached 22 species (9 of them are endemic) with the new described species (Chamberlain 1972, Davis et al. 1988, Güner et al. 2000, Parolly & North, 2004, Parolly & North 2005, Akpulat & Akalın 2010, Menemen 2012, Yıldırım & Duman 2017 and new combination (Bernardi 1979). Revision of this genus in Turkey was done by Akpulat (2011). ...
... At first appearance, the new species draws attention to itself with dense leaf cluster consisting of long-petiolated leaves and long, sparsely leafy and flowery stem in the field. The new species shows also some morphological similarities to Peucedanum graminifolium Boissier (1844: 314), P. longifolium Waldstein & Kitaibel (1806-1812, P. ruthenicum Marschall von Bieberstein (1808: 215) and P. guvenianum Yıldırım & Duman (2017: 601) (cf.

Peucedanum akaliniae is described as a new species from Southern Turkey. It is similar to P. graminifolium, P. longifolium, P. ruthenicum and P. guvenianum. Diagnostic morphological characters are represented and compared with closely related species. It differs from related taxa by having long petioles with long fibrous collar, pinnate leaves, opposite-verticillate inflorescence, unequal rays and pedicels, number of bracts and white flowers, oblong-ovat fruit shape, dorsal vittae regularly 1–2 per vallecula and ribs, 1–3 vittae in the lateral wings and costas.
... Features of the pollen produced by P. miroense, including polarity, shape, aperture type, and, in particular, sexine ornamentation were found to be similar to those observed in previously described Peucedanum species, including P. alsaticum , P. cervaria (L.) Lap. , P. guvenianum (Yildirim & Duman, 2017), P. hyrcanicum (Gholizadeh et al., 2017), P. rablense Koch (Halbritter & Buchner, 2015), and P. venetum (Halbritter, 2019). These findings accordingly imply that Peucedanum is a stenopalynous genus. ...
... In general, the outline of the mericarp in transverse section tends to be constant, and is a characteristic feature of certain groups or taxa. Species in the Apioideae, including Peucedanum, are typically characterized by mericarps with flattened outlines (compressed dorsally) in transverse section (Kljuykov et al., 2021), and we found that the mericarp of P. miroense generally has an outline similar to that observed in other Peucedanum species (Gholizadeh et al., 2017;Parolly & Nordt, 2005;Winter et al., 2008;Yildirim & Duman, 2017). ...

Peucedanum miroense K. Kim, H.‐J. Suh & J.‐H. Song, recently reported as a new species endemic to South Korea, is distributed on mountains Duta‐san and Swinŭm‐san in Gangwon Province, South Korea. Given its conspicuously limited habitat range and small populations, this species qualifies as an endangered Red List species. In this study, we undertook a detailed investigation of the floral micromorphological, palynological, and carpological characters of P. miroense based on a range of microscopic analyses. Examination of the floral micromorphology of P. miroense revealed that the surface patterns of bractlets have potential utility in taxonomy studies of the genus Peucedanum . In addition, we established that this plant is characterized a papillose conical‐tabular rugose pattern of petal epidermal cells and bears sunken nectary slits on the stylopodium. Also identified were simple spherical orbicules bearing psilate surface ornamentation, as well as small tricolporate prolate to perprolate pollen grains characterized by verrucate and gemmate ornamentation. Moreover, we verified pollen wall stratification and presence of pollenkitt. The mericarps had colliculate‐striate surface patterns with trichomes and eight or nine vittae, and prismatic crystals were detected in different layers of the pericarp. We believe that the findings of this study will contribute to an evaluation of the taxonomic significance of this species within the genus Peucedanum , and also provide valuable information for the conservation of this rare endemic species. Research Highlights We provided the first detailed descriptions of the floral micromorphological, palynological, and carpological characters of the rare endemic Korean species Peucedanum miroense K. Kim, H.‐J. Suh & J.‐H. Song, based on different microscopic analyses. Our findings provide valuable information regarding the epidermal cell patterns of bractlets, petals, stylopodium, gynoecium, and anthers. We believe our study makes a significant contribution to the literature, as our findings will contribute to enhancing the taxonomical classification of species within the genus Peucedanum , and will provide a basis for the conservation of this rare endemic species. This results will be of value to researchers studying the future biology and taxonomy of species within the family Apiaceae, particularly those using different microscopic techniques, including FE‐SEM, digital slide scanning, and TEM.
... Furthermore, the five Kitagawia species examined had different fruit surfaces and various cuticular foldings ( Figure 6, Table 2). These characteristics partly overlapped with the fruit micromorphological characteristics of Peucedanum sensu stricto [23,25,65] and were incongruent with the results of Ostroumova [23][24][25]. Thus, micromorphological characteristics of fruit surfaces might vary among populations, which would make them poor diagnostic characteristics for Kitagawia. ...
... Quality control of the raw reads was performed using fastP v0.15.0 (-n 10 and -q 15) [87], yielding high-quality reads for each species. The program GetOrganelle v1.7.5.3 [88] was used to assemble the complete plastomes with the custom parameters (-F embplant_pt; -R 15; -k 21,45,65,85,105,121). Assembled plastomes of the eight taxa were annotated with PGA [89]. ...

Kitagawia Pimenov is one of the segregate genera of Peucedanum sensu lato within the Apiaceae. The phylogenetic position and morphological delimitation of Kitagawia have been controversial. In this study, we used plastid genome (plastome) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences to reconstruct the phylogeny of Kitagawia, along with comparative plastome and morphological analyses between Kitagawia and related taxa. The phylogenetic results identified that all examined Kitagawia species were divided into Subclade I and Subclade II within the tribe Selineae, and they were all distant from the representative members of Peucedanum sensu stricto. The plastomes of Kitagawia and related taxa showed visible differences in the LSC/IRa junction (JLA) and several hypervariable regions, which separated Subclade I and Subclade II from other taxa. Fruit anatomical and micromorphological characteristics, as well as general morphological characteristics, distinguished the four Kitagawia species within Subclade I from Subclade II and other related genera. This study supported the separation of Kitagawia from Peucedanum sensu lato, confirmed that Kitagawia belongs to Selineae, and two species (K. praeruptora and K. formosana) within Subclade II should be placed in a new genus. We believe that the “core” Kitagawia should be limited to Subclade I, and this genus can be distinguished by the association of a series of morphological characteristics. Overall, our study provides new insights into the phylogeny, plastome evolution, and taxonomy of Kitagawia.
... In the search for characters that are useful in taxonomy, the micromorphology of fruits is being studied; scanning electron microscopy data is becoming an important element in the description of new species (for example, Wang et al., 2013;Duran et al., 2015;Yildiri, Duman, 2017). ...
... The Siberian species Peucedanum morisonii belongs to the closest relationship of P. officinale; it also has indistinguishable cell boundaries on the surface of the fruit and a striate cuticle; a significant part of the surface is covered with wax. The same surface was revealed in P. guvenianum, which was recently described in Turkey (Yildiri, Duman, 2017). Other Siberian genera, which were previously included in Peucedanum s. l., have a peculiar surface sculpture and a small amount of wax. ...

Using a scanning electron microscope, the fruit micromorphology of the family Apiaceae of Siberia was studied. In total, the study covered 97 species of wild, adventive, and the most important cultivated plants. Within one fruit, micromorphology is heterogeneous; the most informative is the surface of the grooves and the rib bases. Exocarp cells are described (relative position, shape, size, nature of the boundaries between cells, outer walls, and fine relief of the cell wall). Characters most consistent within the species, for example, outgrowths on cell surface and a thin relief of cell wall, are noted. The characteristics of the ridges of the ribs, stomata (their presence, position on the surface of the fruit, and cuticle on the cells adjacent to the stomata), and epicuticular wax are also given. 25 species have hairs, scales, spines or warts on the surface; the shape of these structures and their fine relief are described. The importance of micromorphology for species identification and taxonomy is shown. The wide distribution of parallel variability in the family is noted.
... Four of them are endemic and the endemism rate is 28.5% (Chamberlein, 1972;Davis et al., 1988;Güner et al., 2000).

Bu çalışmada Peucedanum arenarium'un Türkiye'de yetiştirilen iki alt türü subsp urbani ve subsp. neumayeri taksonomik durumu araştırıldı. Türkiye florasında bu alt türün olgun meyveleri bulunmamaktadır. Bu taksonlara ait bitki örnekleri ilk kez toplanmış ve morfolojik, anatomik, DNA dizi analizi ve SEM çalışmaları yapılmıştır. P. arenarium subsp urbani. Moleküler (ITS nrDNA dizileri), morfolojik ve özellikle mikrokarpolojik verileri göre P. obtusifolium Sm'nin aynı dalına aittir. Bu yakınlık morfolojik olarak (meyve yapısındaki benzerlikle) desteklenir. Bu nedenle P. arenarium subsp urbani'nin Taeniopetalum cinsine aktarılmasına ve Taeniopetalum urbani olarak değerlendirilmesine karar verildi. P. arenarium subsp. neumayeri ise Türkiye florası için olgun bir meyve olarak yanlış teşhis edildi. Tip lokalitesinden topladığımız bitkinin olgun meyvesine baktığımızda bu türün aslında Johneria tortusa olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç olarak Türkiye’de, P. arenarium subsp. neumayeri türü yoktur ve P. arenarium subsp urbani, Taeniopetalum urbani'dir.

Ülkemizin sahip olduğu zengin bitkisel biyoçeşitlilik ve genetik kaynaklar ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel değerleri nedeniyle stratejik bir öneme sahiptir. Bitki genetik kaynaklarımızın korunması, mevcut ve gelecek nesiller için sürdürülebilir kullanarak ekonomik değere dönüştürülmesi ülkemiz için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Endemik ve nadir bitkilerde bir ülkenin bitkisel genetik kaynak zenginliklerinin başında gelmektedir. İzmir’de endemik ve nadir bitki türlerinin tamamının korunmasına yönelik bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle İzmir ilindeki endemik ve nadir bitkilerin ex situ muhafazası acil bir ihtiyaç olarak görülmüştür. Bu proje, İzmir İlinde bulunan endemik, nadir ve tehdit altındaki bitki türlerinin toplanması ve ex-situ muhafaza yapılması amacıyla 2014-2018 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda toplanan taksonların 188 tanesi projenin hedef türü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu türlerden 115 tanesi endemik, 48 tanesi tip örneği Türkiye olan, 13 tanesi nadir ve 12 tanesi endemik ya da nadir olmayıp IUCN kriterlerine göre tehdit kategorisinde olan taksonlardır. Yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda tespit edilen taksonların IUCN tehdit kriterlerine göre tehlike kategorileri belirlenmiştir. Bu taksonlardan 1 takson EW (Doğada Tükenmiş), 6 takson CR (Kritik), 19 takson EN (Tehlikede), 36 takson VU (Duyarlı), 9 CD (Korumaya Tabi), 50 takson LC (Düşük Riskli), 14 takson NT (Tehdite Yakın) ve 4 takson “DD” (Veri Yetersiz) kategorisindedir. Hedef türlerin 188’inin herbaryum örnekleri alınırken 75’inden tohum materyali alınmıştır. Toplanan herbaryum örnekleri (İZ) ETAE Herbaryumunda, tohum materyali ETAE Ulusal Tohum Gen Bankasında muhafazaya alınmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, bitki genetik kaynaklarımızın, endemik ve nadir bitkilerimizin iyi tanınması, korunması ve çoğaltılarak ekonomiye kazandırılması açısından önemlidir.

Akpulat, H. A. & Akalın, E. 2010: Peucedanum ozhatayiorum (Apiaceae), a new species from NE Turkey. — Ann. Bot. Fennici 47: 59–62. Peucedanum ozhatayiorum Akpulat & E. Akalın is described and illustrated as a new species from northeast Anatolia, Turkey. It is similar to P. caucasicum and P. longibracteolatum but differs from them by having a slender, scabroid stem; scabroid leaves; a fibrous collar; deciduous bracts; persistent unequal bracteoles; green-purple petals; and up to 10 vittae in the dorsal side of mericarps. Peucedanum is an heterogeneous genus of 100– 120 species, distributed in the Old World, mainly in Eurasia and Africa. The North American genus Lomatium is fairly similar to Peucedanum (Pimenov & Leonov 1993). Taxonomically Peucedanum s. lato is the most complex genus in the Apiaceae and it is usu-ally defined in a broad sense, as in the majority of modern floras. Only few characters are common to all of the species and the genus exhibits a great diversity of life-forms, leaf structures and chemi-cal constituents (Solov'eva et al. 1985). It is cur-rently under revision by different botanists and it is reduced to only 8–10 Eurasian species, which are known as "true Peucedanum" species related to the type species P. officinale. Many satellite genera are separated from Peucedanum, includ-ing Cervaria, Holandrea, Imperatoria, Oreo-selinum, Pteroselinum, Thysselinum, Tommasinia and Xanthoselinum (Spalik et al. 2004) In Turkey Peucedanum s. lato is represented by 16 species, and 17 taxa, including six endemic taxa (Chamberlain 1972, Bernardi 1979, Davis et al. 1988, Pimenov & Leonov 2004, Parolly & North 2004, Parolly & North 2005). We came across a new species during our fieldwork, which initiated a revision of Peu-cedanum in Turkey. The main objective of this project is to resolve the taxonomic problems in Peucedanum species, since the genus has not been studied in detail.

The anatomical structure of the fruits of 48 African species of Peucedanum s.l. and related genera Lefebvrea, Physotrichia and Steganotaenia has been studied. The fruits have been described for 23 diagnostic characters. Carpo-anatomical structure in the species investigated has appeared to be rather variable in spite of being comparatively similar in outer mericarp morphology. The peculiarities in secretory system, structure of marginal winged ribs, as well as thickness and histological structure of pericarp are the most valuable diagnostic features. Eleven carpological groups have been separated; six of them, containing the species distributed exclusively or mainly in southern Africa, are described in the present paper. Only a small group of six species is similar to the type of Eurasian sect. Peucedanum, however these African species differ from typical species of Peucedanum in vegetative morphology and in inflorescence characters. The results obtained show the necessity of taxonomic revision in African species of Peucedanum.

Peucedanum isauricum is described as a species new to science and illustrated. Its taxonomic position in P. sect. Palimbioidea close to P. graminifolium of N Turkey and the more distantly related P. spreitzenhoferi of the Levant is discussed. P. isauricum stands out in combining a junciform-polygonoid habit with heteromorphic, in their majority grass-like leaves. Light-microscopic photographs of transverse sections and SEM photographs of mericarps of P. isauricum and P. spreitzenhoferi are presented. P. isauricum is considered a neo-endemic and only recorded from a very localised range in the western Central Taurus near Demirtaş, Antalya province, Turkey.

An original database, ASIUM, on Asian Umbelliferae has been compiled at the Moscow State University to include all accepted names and synonyms, principal citations in regional Floras, monographs and critical articles, protologue data and distribution in countries, their regions and provinces. A special option permits the arrangement of synomyms, which can be divided into several homotypic groups. It is also possible to extract information for analysis and comparison, for instance, of species sets from different regions to estimate their similarity. ASIUM is a mobile monograph of the Umbelliferae for a continent, with their maximal biodiversity at the generic and specific levels: 286 genera and 2089 species of the family (s.l.) are registered in the database. The largest Umbelliferae genera in Asia are Ferula L., Bupleurum L., Pimpinella L., Heracleum L., Seseli L., Angelica L, Bunium L., Prangos Lindl., Ferulago W.D.J. Koch, Hymenidium Lindl., Hydrocotyle L., Chaerophyllum L., Eryngium L., Pternopetalum Franch., Elaeosticta Fenzl, Acronema Falc, ex Edgew, and Semenovia Regel & Herder. Maximal species diversity is observed in China, Asiatic Turkey, Iran, Asiatic Russia, Kazakhstan, India, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia and Syria. Nearly all these countries boast the largest number of endemics. In Turkey there are 4 endemic genera and 140 endemic species, including 6 problematic ones. South-west Asia as a whole is an area of considerable diversity and endemism of the Umbelliferae.
