New combination in Veronica (Scrophulariaceae s.l.)based on morphological characters and the seed storage protein polymorphism

Veronica erciyasdagi (M. A. Fischer) C. Vural comb. & stat. Nov., previously regarded as a variety, is proposed as a new combination, based on the morphological characters and seed storage protein polymorphism presented in this study. In addition, information about the ecology and conservation status of Veronica erciyas-dagi was reported. This taxon is endemic to central Anatolia, Turkey and is critically endangered.
