Abstract
A distinctive new species, Ferulago glareosa, is described as a species new to science and
illustrated from a localised area of Erzincan province. It differs from all other species
in the genus on account of its scree-like habit, scarcely developed fibrous collar, slender
stems, loose inflorescence, few-rayed umbels and the scarcely winged lateral ridges on the
mericarps. Despite its anomalous facies in the genus, molecular evidence indicates
affinities with Ferulago and there are no apparent reasons for not including it in
this genus.
