Noccaea Anatolica Sp. Nov. (Brassicaceae): A New Species from Eastern Anatolia, Türkiye

Abstract

Noccaea anatolica sp. nov. (Brassicaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Van Province in eastern Anatolia, Türkiye. Diagnostic morphological characteristics, a full description, detailed illustrations, and a distribution map are provided. It is morphologically similar to Noccaea sintenisii and Noccaea valerianoides but easily differs from these species by its fruit shape, seed characters, basal leaf shape, and also general habit.
