Abstract

Two new species in Apiaceae, Ferula brevipedicellata Pesmen ex M. Sagiroglu & H. Duman and F. duranii M. Sagiroglu & H. Duman are described and illustrated from East and South Anatolia, Turkey, respectively. The diagnostic morphological characters are discussed; notes on the ecology of the new species are presented and electron micrographs of the mericarp surfaces of F. brevipedicellata are provided. A somatic metaphase plate of F. duranii shows a chromosome number of 2n = 22.
