Abstract
During the taxonomic revision of the Turkish Dianthus species, specimens collected from Bilecik, Seben (Bolu), and Nallıhan (Ankara) were discovered that represent a new species. Its description, images, chorology, ecology, and threat category are provided. It was compared with a closely related species, Dianthus zonatus, and differences are based on its general morphology and seed micromorphology.
Highlights
The genus Dianthus L. is distinguished from the other genera in the family Caryophyllaceae by its epicalyx scales, tubular calyx, and peltate seeds
In the course of performing a taxonomic revision of Dianthus species of Turkey, specimens from Bilecik, Seben (Bolu), and Nallıhan (Ankara) were identified as D. zonatus Fenzl based on their appearance and present-day key characteristics
The specimens collected from Bilecik, Seben (Bolu), and Nallıhan (Ankara) were found to be distinct from those of D. zonatus on the basis of vegetative, floral, and seed characteristics (Table 1)
