Abstract
A new species, Centaurea kirikkalensis from the Kirikkale Province of Turkey is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to C. nallihanensis and C. drabifolia subsp. floccosa from which it differs mainly in the indumentum of stem and leaves, shape of involucre and appendages and pappus features. Detailed diagnostic characters, descriptions, taxonomic comments, ecology, IUCN conservation status, pollen and achene morphologies are given and the geographical distribution of the new species and its allied taxa is mapped.
