Abstract
Leopoldia oztasii sp. nov. (Asparagaceae, Scilloideae) is described as a new species in this study. It spreads on the stony slopes of Konya province in the south of Türkiye. Leopoldia oztasii is similar to L. tenuiflora, but it is easily distinguished from it, by having larger bulbs, falcate leaves, shorter scape, conical inflorescence, longer pedicels, and larger capsules. In this study, the morphology, seed surface characteristics and ecology of L. oztasii were studied. A detailed description of the new species, a comparison table between the two species, and detailed photographs showing their differences are provided. The distribution areas of L. oztasii and L. tenuiflora in Türkiye are also presented on the map.
