Abstract

The novelties of the genus Cerastium in Turkey were presented in the study along with the description of three new taxa: Cerastium comatum var. longipedicellatum, C. inflatum var. longum, and C. semidecandrum var. delicatum. So, two new combinations have been made for the first time. Distribution records of all mentioned taxa, along with photographs of the new taxa, were also provided.
