1.7. Scope <strong>of</strong> the Study<br />

Since Davis‟ Flora <strong>of</strong> Turkey and the <strong>East</strong> Aegean Islands vol.3 (1985), large number <strong>of</strong><br />

specimens has been collected from different parts <strong>of</strong> Turkey. Species either new to<br />

science or new to Turkey have been discovered and the known distributions <strong>of</strong> other<br />

species have been extended.<br />

The aims <strong>of</strong> this study are as follows:<br />

To carry out a new taxonomic <strong>revision</strong> <strong>of</strong> Vicia and solve existing taxonomic<br />

problems in the Central Anatolia region <strong>of</strong> Turkey.<br />

To determine ecological and phytogeographical properties <strong>of</strong> taxa.<br />

To construct a new infrageneric grouping, by using numerical methods.<br />

To construct a new identification key for the species found in the study area.<br />

To carry out some macro-morphological and anatomical, palynological micro-<br />

morphological assessments for taxonomic reasons.<br />

To determine threat categories <strong>of</strong> the taxa <strong>of</strong> Vicia recognized in Central Anatolia.<br />
