Abstract
A new species of Bupleurum, B. pamiricum Pimenov & Kljuykov, distributed in the Pamirs alpine plateau in Tajikistan and Afghanistan, is here described. Previously collections of this taxon have been attributed to either B. aitchisonii or B. gracillimum, but it differs from the first in the rootstocks not branching, thin roots, narrower stem leaves 3-6 (not 1-2) and from the second in the brown stylopods, thin stems, in the leaves almost not broadened at the base, and bracteole number. A taxonomic key to the five alpine species of Bupleurum, growing in High Asia, is also provided.
