A New Generic Record of Phyllanthaceae (Phyllanthus L.): Addition to the Alien Invasive Vascular Flora of Türkiye

Abstract

In this study, the genus Phyllanthus L. and its species P. tenellus Roxb. (Phyllanthaceae) are reported as a new record for the flora of Türkiye. The Turkish name of the species is suggested as sera nohutu (greenhouse chickpea). Technical drawings and photographs are given to facilitate the identification of the plant, which is an invasive weed in greenhouses in Türkiye. A description of the genus and species are also provided in detail. Specimens of the species were collected from research and application the greenhouse of the Faculty of Forestry in Karadeniz Technical University (KTÜ) and Of Forest Nursery Directorate greenhouses. NE Anatolia hosts many alien plant taxa, primarily due to its humid climate. Recent studies highlighted that many alien plant taxa have been recorded in the flora of Türkiye from this region.
