A new species and a new combination of Omphalodes (Boraginaceae) from Türkiye

Omphalodes turcica is described, shortly introduced, and illustrated as a new species from the North of Türkiye. It is a distinct species, easily distinguishable from its close relatives by its longer pedicels, smaller corollas, and larger nutlets. In habit, flower color, and leaf shape, it resembles Omphalodes luciliae, which is known from Türkiye, Iraq, and Iran. Also, a new species-level combination, Omphalodes pisidica (O. luciliae subsp. pisidica), is proposed based on a subspecies described from Isparta and Antalya Provinces (Türkiye).

Abstract

Omphalodes turcica is described, shortly introduced, and illustrated as a new species from the North of Türkiye. It is a distinct species, easily distinguishable from its close relatives by its longer pedicels, smaller corollas, and larger nutlets. In habit, flower color, and leaf shape, it resembles Omphalodes luciliae, which is known from Türkiye, Iraq, and Iran. Also, a new species-level combination, Omphalodes pisidica (O. luciliae subsp. pisidica), is proposed based on a subspecies described from Isparta and Antalya Provinces (Türkiye).
