	abstract = {Isoetes olympica A. Braun in Milne is known from only two sites: Bursa in Turkey and Jebel Druze, a chain of extinct volcanoes in Syria. The approximately 100 plants are the only quillworts in Syria; they face a very uncertain future. Because this plant grows in wetlands, it is threatened with immediate destruction by the unprecedented expansion of irrigated agriculture in this region. Before this resource is lost, data were collected on megaspores, microspores, leaf anatomy, chromosome number, and gene sequences.},

	abstract = {Quillworts or {\c C}im Eǧreltisi, species of the genus Isoetes L. in Turkey and the Levant, are poorly studied despite extensive floristic studies in the region. The Flora of Turkey lists 4 taxa: Isoetes olympica A.Braun (2n = 22), I. histrix Bory var. histrix (2n = 20), I. subinermis (Bory) Cesca \& Peruzzi [=I. histrix Bory var. subinermis Durieu (2n = 22)] and I. duriei Bory (2n = ca. 121). An additional species, I. anatolica Prada \& Rolleri, was described in 2005 from Bolu province, and we report the first count for this species, 2n = 22. In Syria and Lebanon 2 species are known: I. olympica from a site in Syria and a known but undescribed plant from Akkar province (Lebanon) and adjacent Syria (2n = 22, first count). A preliminary molecular phylogeny for these species is presented; their distribution and cytology are discussed. The taxonomy and nomenclature of the I. histrix and I. duriei groups need considerable further study. The first hybrids for the region are documented. {\textcopyright} T{\"U}B{\.I}TAK.},
