Abstract
We describe Muscari sabihapinari (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) as a new species from the Adana and Sivas provinces in South Anatolia, Turkey. It grows in rocky‐stony steppe habitats. Muscari sabihapinari shows general aspect similar to that of M. anatolicum, M. atillae and M. discolor but is easily distinguished from them by its bulb, leaf and flower characteristics. A complete morphological description, identification key, pollen characteristics, detailed photographs, comparative photographs and comparison table with the closely related species are presented.

Etymology: This species was named to the memory of the late Sabiha Pınar—mother of the second author of the article. We propose that the Turkish common name of this new species—“Hanım müşkürüm”—be used as per the guidelines of Menemen et al. (2016).
