Colchicum akanii Sonay, M. Keskin & Balos (Colchicaceae) from Elazığ, eastern Turkey, is described as a new species. It is morphologically similar to C. balansae and C. macrophyllum, but differs from them mainly by the structure of the corm and outer and inner tunics, cataphyll colour, leaf shape and size, tessellate perigon, filament that is much shorter than tepals, as well as capsule and seed structure. Following the IUCN criteria, we assessed C. akanii to be Critically Endangered (CR).
