Abstract

Astragalus sertavulensis is described as a new species from Karaman in south Anatolia, Turkey. The new species is closely related to A. mesogitanus Boiss. & Balansa and A. lycaonicus Hub.‐Mor. & Reese and is one of only three species in the section that have a hairy corolla. However, while only the standard is hairy in A. mesogitanus , and all the corolla parts are hairy in A. lycaonicus , only the standard and keel are hairy in A. sertavulensis . Furthermore, A. sertavulensis is the only member of the section where the stipules are close to the internodes, at least at the base. A taxonomic description as well as pollen and other morphological characters of the new species were presented. In addition, the geographical distribution of A. sertavulensis , A. mesogitanus and A. lycaonicus is mapped.
