Eleven wild species of Lathyrus grown in Thrace, such as L. niger (L.)Bernh. subsp. niger, L.<br />
palustris L. subsp. palustris, L. digitatus (Bieb.) Fiori, L. tuberosus L., L. sphaericus Retz., L.<br />
setifolius L., L. clymenum L., L. nissolia L., L. aphaca L. var. aphaca, L. aphaca var. affinis<br />
(Guss.)Arc, L. aphaca var. bifilorus Post, pollen morphology have been examined.<br />
Preparations have been prepared using the Wodehouse and Acetolyse methodes. The shapes,<br />
structures, sculptures and apertureties of pollen were measured in light micrescope. The<br />
pollen morphology of species were also studied using a scanning electron microscope<br />
(SEM). In addition, some photographs included in this work were taken using both<br />
light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM).<br />
Keywords: Lathyrus, pollen morphology, Thrace, Turkey<br />

The genus Sempervivum L. comprises about 50 species and 17 hybrids throughout the world<br />
but mainly distributed in mountainous regions of Central and Southern Europe, Southwest<br />
Asia, Caucasia and the Mediterranean. Its centre of diversity lies in the Euro-Siberian,<br />
Mediterranean and Irano-Turanian phytogeographic regions.<br />
The genus Sempervivum was previously revised by Muirhead for the Flora of Turkey in which<br />
it includes 12 taxa. Since the publication of the flora, three more species, one subspecies and<br />
one hybrid have been described from Turkey. As well as, S. minus Turrill var. glabrum Wale<br />
have been raised to species level as Sempervivum ekimii (Wale) F.Karaer.<br />
Between 1999 and 2002, as a part of a revisional study of Sempervivum in Turkey, the authors<br />
carried out extensive field studies and collected a large number of specimens. In the field, the<br />
specimens’ GPS coordinates, habitat and relevant field observations were recorded. The<br />
present study reviews the chorology of the genus Sempervivum in Turkey based on recent<br />
taxonomic revision and available specimen data.<br />
