Özet

Gladiolus hamzaoglui (Iridaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Erzincan province in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. It resembles G. halophilus by its secund inflorescence, obovoid fruit, and winged seed, and is related to G. anatolicus based on its leaf and flower features. Also it is compared to G. illyricus because of having some leaf, flower features, and winged seed characteristics. Its distribution, habitat and ecology, etymology, conservation status and diagnostic morphological, and taxonomic features with familiar species are discussed in this paper. Additionally, pollen and seed micromorphological characteristics of G. hamzaoglui, G. halophilus, and G. anatolicus are examined and compared using LM and SEM analyses. IUCN conservation status of G. hamzaoglui is suggested as Endangered (EN) category.
