A new salsify species, Tragopogon davut-turanii is described from
Anatolia based on micro- and macro-morphological, and molecular
evidences. The new species is morphologically similar to T. vvedenskyi
and T. abbreviatus but, it is closely related to T. stenophyllus and T.
coelesyriacus on the basis of the phylogenetic tree obtained nrDNA ITS
sequences. Diagnostic characters, description, and conservation status
together with micro- and macro-morphological properties of achenes and
pollen grains are also provided.
