The Synopsis of the Genus Biarum Schott (Araceae) in Türkiye, With Complementary Notes and a Key to the Species

Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct systematic research on Biarum, which is one of the taxonomically problematic genera in Türkiye. It was determined that the number of Biarum taxa in Türkiye is 12. It is decided that Biarum x cinarense, B. ditschianum, B. davisii subsp. marmarisense, B. rifatii, and B. eximium are the endemic taxa to Türkiye, and the endemism rate is 41.6%. In this study, taxonomic notes, diagnostic keys, general distribution as well as their conservation status of each species are given. Some of the new collections and herbaria records of Türkiye and abroad are included. The checklist of the genus is given with all the changes, synonyms, and related revisions. Taxonomical changes that have occurred since the publication of Flora of Turkey are included. New findings and a key to the 12 species of Biarum genus in Türkiye are provided.
