Reassessment of conservation status of the Senecio trapezuntinus Boiss. (Asteraceae)

Abstract

Senecio trapezuntinus Boiss. has hitherto been known from type locality (A7: Trabzon – Ortahisar). It was assessed under the VU and CR because of location number and habitat quality. With the two newly recorded populations (A8 Trabzon – Çaykara and A7: Gümüşhane – Kürtün) apart from type locality, the total known population number reaches to four for this local endemic. According to increasing location number, extent of occurrence calculated to be 1671 km2 (less than 5000 km2), an area of occupancy calculated to be 16 km2 (less than 500 km2) we updated the threat category as EN B1ab(i,ii,iii,iv)+2ab(ii,iii,iv) in the present study.
