Ferula turcica and Ferula latialata are two new endemic species discovered in the central Anatolian region of Turkiye. They are distinct from F. szowitsiana in terms of their morphology, ecological characteristics, fruit size, secondary metabolite profiles, and phylogenetic placement. Phylogenetic analysis of their ribosomal DNA sequences confirmed their evolutionary relationships and proposed conservation status.
Ferula turcica and Ferula latialata are two novel endemic species discovered in the Konya and Kirsehir provinces of the central Anatolian region of Turkiye. These two new species are described by morphological, ecological, carpological, and phytochemical characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. F. turcica and F. latialata are morphologically distinct from F. szowitsiana by their habit, the stalk of the terminal umbella, and the mericarp size, as well as by the profile of their secondary metabolite markers and phylogenetic placement. The phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the internal transcribed spacer in ribosomal DNA belonging to both new taxa were conducted to reveal the evolutionary relationships of the new species. Their relationships with the other related species and proposed conservation status were reviewed. The morphological, molecular, and phytochemical evidence supported the hypothesis that Ferula turcica and Ferula latialata are two new distinct species.
