Abstract: A new record of Aegilops uniaristata Vis. (Syn.: Triticum uniaristatum (Vis) K.Richt.), so-called extinct for some years, has been discovered in Istanbul again. With this new discovery, the presence of this taxon in Turkey is confirmed. The current conservation status of Ae. uniaristata is reassessed at national level by using IUCN Red List categoriesand criteria. We also provided detailed information on its ecology and phenology in Turkey.
The linked article, which is not, unfortunately open access, is in Turkish but is followed by a summary in English. The new discovery is particularly interesting because the species was found growing in a "small fragmented area between two highways" going through Istanbul. It was, at the time of publication (2014), one of only two known populations in Turkiye.
