Abstract
Cephalaria suleyman-uysalii (Caprifoliaceae) is described as a new species from South Anatolia, Turkey. It grows in forest-steppe ecotone zones, open forests, and mountain steppe formations of the Taurus Mountains in the districts of Akseki and Gündoğmuş (Antalya province). The taxonomic affinities of the new species were determined by morphological data. Cephalaria suleyman-uysalii is similar to C. elazigensis but it differs mainly with growing habitat, caespitose habit, old dead stems and new shoots together, leaves, pubescence, inflorescence, capitula, corolla and stamen features. The diagnostic morphological characters are discussed with geographical distribution and pictures of the habitat in which it grows. An identification key is provided along with statements about the habitat, ecology, phenology, and conservation status.
