Habitat Properties of Some Glaucium Mill. (Papaveraceae) Taxa Spreading in Turkey

Glaucium Mill. is one of the most important genus of the Papaveraceae family which have represented 5 genus about 102 species in Turkey. Generally, known as “horned poppy”, “？？mlek？atlatan”. In this study some taxa of the genus (G. corniculatum (L) Rud. subsp. corniculatum, G. corniculatum (L) Rud. subsp. refractum (Nab.) Cullen, G. grandiflorum Boiss & Huet var. grandiflorum, G. grandiflorum Boiss & Huet var. torquatum Cullen, G. grandiflorum var. haussknechtii (Bornm. & Fedde) Parsa, G. flavum Crantz, G. leiocarpum Boiss., G. acutidentatum Hausskn. & Bornm., G. cappadocicum Boiss., G. secmenii Y？ld？r？ml？) soil samples were analysed and their physical and chemical properties were identifed in order to determine the ecological characteristics of the environments in which the taxa were grown. At the end of the investigation that the taxa preferred soils, alkaline soils in terms of pH, highly limy soils in terms of lime. Differences were observed in the other parameters (pH, salt, lime, saturation, organic matter, useful P, useful K, Ca, Mg), in the direction of these data, it seems that the taxa are adapted to different environments that are specialized
