Abstract

Allium saricanense Balos, Sonay & Kocyigit (Amaryllidaceae), a new species of Allium sect. Codonoprasum, is described from Elazig Province, eastern Turkey. It resembles A. turcicum and A. nerimaniae but differs from them by several morphological characters, such as its filament length, inner tepal shape, ovary shape and style colour. Diagnostic characters, a comprehensive description, photographs, and a distribution map of A. saricanense are provided.
