Title: Plants from eastern Turkey
Post by: Kees Jan on December 15, 2010, 05:01:29 PM: The first plant was photographed in early May 2007 in the Palandoken Mts of eastern Turkey, between Erzurum and Çat. I don't have a clue what it is though. ???

Next there are some mystery ferns from the Rize area, near the Black Sea...

And finally an Oxalis and Ajuga spec.

Ajuga orientalis [still early to say but the hairs are typical to this sp.]
Oxalis acetosella

Post by: Oron Peri on December 16, 2010, 12:03:52 PM: The first fern is difficult to say at this stage, as leaves are not mature yet, might be Polystichum lonchitis if leaflets turn to be serrated or a Polypodium vulgare.

Matteuccia struthiopteris is difficult to say too. ;D

You could probably identify the Tragopogon in my query

too.

Post by: Kees Jan on December 17, 2010, 08:26:49 PM: Thanks everyone :)

Here are some more pics:

A nice Bellevalia, Kop Geçidi, SE of Bayburt
A Genista?, near Sumela Monastery not far from Trabzon
A conifer, possibly Juniperus excelsa, between Bayburt and Gumushane
And finally some sort of Pedicularison the lower slopes of the western side of Kostandagi Gecidi east of Gumushane

Any help would be much appreciated! :) I'm uploading the last pics from this trip to http://keesjan.smugmug.com/Botanical-trips/Asia/Northeastern-Turkey-May/ now.

Do you have a closeup of the Genista?
