A new record for the flora of Turkey: Dactylorhiza maculata (L.) Soó (Orchidaceae)

Abstract

Dactylorhiza maculata (L.) Soó (Orchidaceae) subsp. maculata is collected from Uludağ Mountain (Bursa, Turkey) and is reported for the first time for the Flora of Turkey. The description of the species has also been expanded, following collection of specific plant materials. A comparison between our specimens and Dactylorhiza nieschalkiorum H. Baumann & Künkele - the closest species to these specimens - is provided, and their distributions in Turkey are shown on a map.
