Abstract:
In the
revision study on the genus Artemisia L. in Turkey, we observed
that there were differences between the descriptions of Artemisia
herba - alba Asso. in Flora Europea and Flora of Turkey and that the
description of Artemisia herba – alba Asso. in Flora of Turkey
was problematic. We observed that the Turkish specimens were the same as
the specimens called Artemisia sieberi Bess., which were
collected from Siberia, Caucasia, Central Asia and Kazakhstan. We found
that our specimens matched the descriptions given for Artemisia
sieberi Bess. in Flora of Iranica and Flora of Ussr.
Thus,
we determined that
the species of Artemisia herba - alba
Asso.
wasn’t found in Turkey and the specimens given as Artemisia herba
-alba
Asso.
in Flora of Turkey were Artemisia sieberi
Bess.
subsp. sieberi which
is a new
record for the Flora of Turkey. The description, disribution map in
Turkey and photography of
Artemisia sieberi
Bess.
subsp. sieberi
are given.
