Abstract

Rhaponticum pulchrum (Asteraceae) was collected for the first time from
Hanönü in Kastamonu and it was given a new record for the flora of Turkey. The
description, pictures of the isotypes from the Berlin and Natural History
Museum herbariums and field, and a distribution map were given. Diagnostic
characters and its taxonomic relationship with closely allied taxa were
discussed here.

Keywords

Anatolia, Asteraceae, morphology, new record
