Nonea pallens (Boraginaceae). a new addition to the flora of Turkey

Abstract

Nonea pallens was recently collected by the authors in the Yildiz mountain region in Turkey-in-Europe. The species is new for the Turkish flora and the population marks the southern limit of the species range. Geographical and ecological details are given about the record locality, along with an original description and iconography of the Turkish specimens. Original material of N. pallens was traced in G, W and FI, allowing a lectotype to be selected. Finally, a karyological analysis provided new data about the systematic position of this poorly known species within the genus.
