A systematic study on the genus Erodium in Kurdistan of Iraq
Journal Title: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Computational and Applied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Sixty two specimens of Erodium were loaned by Howler Botanical Garden herbarium to RNG herbarium at the University of Reading, UK, beside quite many living taxon that naturally found in the fields of Kurdistan. Morphological studies were conducted on the vegetative part of the specimens in accordance of neighbor countries flora such as Turkey, Iran, Syria, and Palestine in addition to the Mediterranean flora. RNG herbarium specimens were also used for comparison and for verification. It has been found that these specimens are related to nine species of Erodium that will be described for the first time in Kurdistan. It was found that these species mostly occur in and within neighboring countries with a high variance in geographical distribution. A key for species identification of Erodium has been forwarded. Undoubtedly this paper will praise others in this aspect as it is part of a series of successive coming papers on other genera in order to enrich flora of Kurdistan in near future.
