The new species Crataegus yaltirikii Dönmez (Rosaceae) belonging to section Crataegus, series Orientales (Schn.)
Pojark. is described from Turkey. The most prominent features of the species are the coriaceous nature of the leaves,
widely cuneate leaf bases, wide basal leaf lobes, slightly oblong fruit, dark red fruit colour and the distinct neck of
the calyx base. A description and illustration of the new species are given and its relationship to closely related species is discussed. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 148, 245–

INTRODUCTION
An ongoing study of Crataegus in Turkey by the
author revealed that the genus has more species than
hitherto known. Similarly, in a monographic study
about the Old World Crataegus in section Crataegus,
Christensen (1992) recorded many more taxa in the
genus than given in the Flora of Turkey by Browicz
(1972). Moreover, he included Turkey among the
diversity centres of the section Crataegus. The present
author (Dönmez, 2004) has also stated that there are
some important breeding areas in Turkey for Crataegus species, with many taxa, intraspecific variation
and hybrid forms.
A number of field trips in south-east Turkey produced interesting Crataegus specimens characterized
by dark red fruit and greenish calyx. Other distinctive
features included the indumentum, leaf shape and serration. Following detailed literature and herbarium
studies, it has been decided to erect a new species of
Crataegus. After a discussion with Christensen, the
area located in a deep valley was visited again to make
further observations, and to collect flowering material.
In the following year, the flowering time was over, but
flowers were again collected on the last field trip to the
area (in 2004). In addition, the area was carefully surveyed and observed to gain an understanding of the

ecology and population structure of the new species.
Meanwhile, a new location with many specimens was
discovered in another valley 20 km from the first location. Crataegus azarolus var. aronia was also found.
The two taxa are distinguished on leaf appearance,
even at a considerable distance. The new species is
also characterized by more shiny and dark green
leaves.

Etymology: The specific epithet is in honour of
emeritus botany Professor Faik Yaltırık, Forest
◊
Faculty of Istanbul University.
Iconography: Figure 1.
Ecology and phenology: Flowering; 5–6, Mature fruit;
9–10. Among the Quercus scrub. 1100–1500 m.
Distribution: Endemic. Irano-Turanian element;
known from two localities of the Beytü şşebap ( Şırnak)
district (Fig. 2) .
Conservation status: The type locality of C. yaltirikii
has been searched to investigate population structure.
There were several shrubs and trees with mature
fruits. The second locality has many individuals.
Based on both localities, the total distribution area of
the species is over 50 km2. Due to the wild nature of
the region, it was difficult to survey the whole area for
this species during a single field trip. However, it
seems likely that new locations will be found in the
region.
Figure 2. Distribution of Crataegus yaltirikii (),
C. azarolus var. azarolus ( ), C. azarolus var. aronia (),
C. pontica () and C. orientalis ssp. orientalis ( ).
The wild nature and absence of any distinct threats
in the localities indicate that there is no special threat
to this species. Considering its distribution pattern,
‘Least Concern’ (LC) status in the IUCN categories
(IUCN, 2001) is proposed. The species has potential for
cultivation based on its interesting fruit colour and
leaf shape.
DISCUSSION
The proposed new species is most closely related to
C. azarolus L. var. azarolus and C. pontica C. Koch
(Table 1). The treatment of C. azarolus by Christensen
(1992), and that of C. pontica by Koch are followed, the
latter for its morphological distinction. Many specimens of the latter species have been collected from

various localities of Turkey in the course of a project
on Turkish Crataegus species, conducted by the
author. In addition, many examples of both taxa,
including some type specimens and original specimens, have been examined at herbaria whose
acronyms are given in the Acknowledgements. The
third species which is closely related to the new species is C. orientalis M. Bieb. ssp. orientalis. Similarly,
many specimens have been collected from Turkey and
examined at the mentioned herbaria.
Previous studies by Pojarkova (1941), Meikle (1966),
Riedl (1969), Browicz (1972), Christensen (1992) and
Khatamsaz (1991) suggest that the new species is most
close to C. azarolus L. whose circumscription is generally used in a wide sense by various authors (e.g.
Franco, 1968; Meikle, 1977; Pignatti, 1982). The recent
monographic study on the genus by Christensen (1992)
employed a similar concept of C. azarolus. He recognized four varieties viz.; var. azarolus, var. aronia L.,
var. chlorocarpa (Moris) K.I.Chr. and var. pontica
(C.Koch) K.I.Chr. and further reduced two recently
described varieties (C. aronia L. var. dentata Browicz
and C. aronia L. var. minuta Browicz) to C. azarolus
var. aronia. Christensen keyed var. azarolus as ‘leaves
glabrous (subglabrous) beneath and orange red fruit
colours’ in his monograph. However, fruit colours of
var. azarolus range from yellow to light reddish (Hammer & Perrino, 1985). Other varieties have yellow or
orange coloured fruit, but, C. yaltirikii has a very distinct dark red (bloody) colour. Furthermore, fruit size
of var. azarolus is larger than that of the new species
and the shape of the fruit of the former taxon is globose
to slightly depressed.
The specimen of C. pontica collected from the type
locality has 2–3 (-5) pyrenes and yellow to orange
coloured fruit. The flesh is similar to that of
C. yaltirikii. However, the fruit of C. pontica is clearly
different from that of the new species in its globose to
slightly depressed shape, larger size and yellowish
colour. In terms of the fruit characters, C. yaltirikii is
similar to C. orientalis ssp. orientalis. In addition, the
new species has many distinctive features in its habit,
indumentum and leaf character.
The calyx of C. yaltirikii has an outstanding colour,
being yellowish green on its upper surface and dark
red outside. In addition, each of the sepals is rolled
back in mature fruit, a position possibly unique to
Crataegus yaltirikii.
C. yaltirikii has a moderately to sparsely tomentose
indumentum on young shoots. The indumentua of
C. azarolus, C. pontica and C. orientalis ssp. orientalis
are more dense and lanate or tomentose. A similar
pattern of indumentum is seen on the leaves. The
hairs of the leaves of C. yaltirikii are more sparse than
those of the leaves of C. azarolus var. aronia, producing a greener colour than that of C. azarolus var.
aronia in the same habitat.
In terms of indumentum, leaf shape and texture,
fruit colour and the flesh features, the new species is
closest to the species of sect. Crataegus ser. Orientales
(Schn.) Pojark. This series has four species;
C. azarolus L., C. pontica, C. orientalis M.Bieb. and
C. heldreichii Boiss. The first three species are common in Turkey, represented by several subspecies and
varieties. Hundreds of the specimens belonging to
these taxa have been collected from Turkey and many

representative specimens have been examined in the
various herbaria given below. C. heldreichii Boiss.
naturally grows in the Balkan area, but not in Turkey.
Many representative specimens have been examined
in the herbaria. Although there is some similarity
between C. heldreichii and C. yaltirikii in fruit characters, both are rather different from each other in
leaf, habit and other features.
C. azarolus var. azarolus naturally grows in southern Europe and the east border of its distribution is
Italy according to Christensen. This new species grows
naturally at Şırnak in south-east Turkey, considerably
far away from the distribution area of the former
taxon, thus demonstrating the geographical isolation
of the two taxa.
The distribution areas of the taxa related to the new
species are given in the map derived from Christensen
(1992) and Browicz (1972). The examined specimens
are listed in the Appendix.
The taxa in C. azarolus mostly grow in drier habitats in Turkey. In contrast, the localities of the new
species are not suitable places for the infraspecific
taxa of C. azarolus due to higher humidity. The
specimens grow in the mixed deciduous forest on the
banks of a river. Furthermore, the area is surrounded
by high mountains such that humidity is increased
because of the lack of effective wind.
An extensive literature survey, herbarium studies
and field observations indicate that none of the varieties has dark red fruit. Among the varieties of
C. azarolus the most common found in Turkey is var.
aronia. Maturation of the fruit is very late and it has
hard skin and thinner flesh. Therefore, the fruit is not
attractive for eating.
