Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic>Tragopogon turcicus</italic> Coşkunç., M.Gultepe &amp; Makbul, a new diploid species (2n = 2x = 12), is described and illustrated from Kızıldağ National Park (Isparta), southwest Anatolia. It is morphologically similar to <italic>T. oligolepis</italic> Hartvig &amp; Strid which is also endemic to Turkey. Diagnostic characters, description, conservation status together with micro‐ and macro‐morphological properties of achenes and pollen grains are given. A phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequence data indicated that <italic>T. oligolepis</italic> is the sister species of the new taxon.</p> </abstract>
