Pyrus hakkiarica (Turkish: Çölemerik ahlatı[2]) is a species of wild pear in the family Rosaceae. It is endemic to the Hakkari area of Turkey,[3] and is assessed as data deficient on the IUCN Red List.
Description
Pyrus hakkiarica is a small, thorny tree reaching up to about 5 m in height. Young shoots are hairless (Template:Plantgloss), while branches bear stout spines. Leaves are broadly Template:Plantgloss, variable even on the same plant, typically up to 7 cm long and 4–5 cm wide, with margins that may be entire or lightly Template:Plantgloss to Template:Plantgloss. Both surfaces of the leaf are smooth and green, and the leaf base is usually Template:Plantgloss (heart‑shaped) but may sometimes appear rounded. Template:Plantgloss measure 2.5–5 cm in length. Flowers appear in clusters of one to three, each developing into a single Template:Plantgloss (pear‑shaped) fruit up to 3 cm in diameter; the fruit retains its Template:Plantgloss lobes and is borne on a thick stalk 3–5 cm long Wikipedia.[4]
Analysis of the mineral content of P. hakkiarica has found the fruit higher than other pears in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron.[5]
Habitat and distribution
This species is known only from montane scrub and open woodland in and around the Hakkâri Province of Turkey, typically on well‑drained slopes within a subtropical continental climate. Its restricted range and specialised habitat contribute to its uncertain conservation status.[4]
Taxonomy
Pyrus hakkarica was first described by the Polish chorologist and taxonomist Kazimierz Browicz (pl) in 1972, based on material collected by Peter Hadland Davis on 16 June 1966 at 1550 m elevation on the road from Şemdinli to Yüksekova in Hakkâri Province, Turkey.[6]
