Anatolian biogeography has an important place in the world
terrestrial ecosystem with its species diversity. The fact that it has
hotspots, microclimate localities and is the intersection point of 3
biogeographic areas makes diversity inevitable. The Antalya Region, which is a
part of the southern Mediterranean, stands out as an indicator of this
diversity and especially its rarity value as endemicity. With each passing
year, new species are discovered in this region and added to the literature.
Antalya is a very rich province in terms of natural vegetation and
endemic species. As a result of scientific studies, it has been determined that
there are over 12,000 plant species in Turkey, 35% of which have endemic
status, and there are 862 endemic plant locations in Antalya province, and
Antalya's endemism rate was found to be 8.9%. Approximately
2350 plants were collected in the center of Antalya between 1992 and 1994 and
130 families, 569 genera and 1023 species were identified in the Antalya city flora
and the total number of taxa was 1065. 863 of the 1023 species are natural and
160 of them are cultivated plants. Knowing, promoting and protecting endemic
and rare species is of great importance for the continuation of biodiversity.
In addition, there are 44 critically endangered plant species distributed in
Antalya, which is one of the richest provinces in terms of plant biodiversity
in Turkey. These species are subjected to human pressure due to factors such as
agriculture, tourism, transportation, etc.
In this study, Google Scholar was searched to identify new species
that have been introduced to the scientific world in the last 10 years.
Confirmed through IPNI & POWO.
As a result of the studies, 4 taxons from Apiaceae, 3 taxons from
Alliaceae, 2 taxons from Campanulacea and 2 taxons from Caryophyllaceae from
different locations of Antalya. From the diversified families, 20 taxons have
been introduced to the scientific world in the last 10 years.
