Abstract
Peucedanum isauricum is described as a species new to
science and illustrated. Its taxonomic position in P. sect.
Palimbioidea close to P. graminifolium of N Turkey
and the more distantly related P. spreitzenhoferi of the
Levant is discussed. P. isauricum stands out in combining a
junciform-polygonoid habit with heteromorphic, in their majority
grass-like leaves. Light-microscopic photographs of transverse
sections and SEM photographs of mericarps of P. isauricum
and P. spreitzenhoferi are presented. P. isauricum
is considered a neo-endemic and only recorded from a very localised
range in the western Central Taurus near Demirtaî, Antalya
province, Turkey.
