Classification and Causes of New Species (V. edremitense) which was included in Veronica beccabunga L. subsp. muscosa [(Korsh.) A.Jelen., 1971)] before.

Abstract

In this study, Veronica beccabunga subsp. muscosa is one of the subspecies of Veronica beccabunga, which is understood from more detailed studies that some population (F 1001) samples collected and included to – subsp. muscosa in 2000 year; then as a result of more detailed studies came out that it should not be include in -subsp. muscosa, it should be classified as a separate and new species called Veronica edremitense A.Öztürk & Ö.Kılıç. As a matter of fact, when the population sample (F 1001) was examined more detailed, and when compared with Veronica beccabunga subspecies, there are significant morphological and caryological differences. Because of the reasons described in this article we would like to call our population sample as a newspecies called “V. edremitense A.Öztürk & Ö.Kılıç” which was collected from Edremit county of Van.
