Abstract
A new salsify species, Tragopogon davutii‐turanii, is described from Anatolia based on micro‐/macro‐morphological and molecular evidence. The new species is morphologically similar to T. vvedenskyi and T. abbreviatus, but differs from T. vvedenskyi mainly in ligule colour and from T. abbreviatus by achene characters and number of phyllaries. In contrast to morphological similarities, based on the phylogenetic tree obtained from nrDNA ITS sequences T. davutii‐turanii is closely related to T. stenophyllus and T. coelesyriacus. Diagnostic characters, description, and conservation status of the new species, as well as micro‐ and macro‐morphological features of its achenes and pollen grains, are provided.
