Özet

Background and aims - Turkey is one of the major centers of diversity for Salvia, with 97 species of which 54% are endemic. The aims of this study are to give detailed taxonomical, morphological and ecological accounts of S. cadmica and S. smyrnaea. Methods - Based on herbarium studies and field observations, numerical and morphological studies have been conducted on the taxa. Key results - The main morphological characters such as calyx structure, shape, colour, size and corolla colour are diagnostic. Additionally, pollen and nutlet characteristics provide taxonomically distinctive characters for the taxa. Conclusion - The new variety S. cadmica var. bozkirensis from Turkey is described. Amended and expanded descriptions, with notes on distribution, phenology, ecology, palynology and nutlet features of the taxa are given. © 2011 National Botanic Garden of Belgium and Royal Botanical Society of Belgium.
