On the identity of the Turkish endemic Cyperus noeanus (Cyperaceae)
Cyperus noeanus Boiss. is known only from
the type specimen that was collected in Central Anatolia by Wilhelm
Noë. It is considered an endemic species in Turkey. A detailed
morphological study of the type specimen and comparison with similar
related species in section Compressi Kunth demonstrated that the morphological characters of C. noeanus entirely fall within the range of characters of C. glaber
L., which is a widely scattered species in Turkey, and widespread in S
Europe and SW Asia as well. Based on our comparative study, we suggest
that C. noeanus should be treated as a synonym of C. glaber.
