摘要

Hypericum ekerii Yüce & Ayta? sp. nov. (Hypericaceae) is described and illustrated from Düzgün Baba Mountain in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The new taxon grows on volcanic rocks in Tunceli Province. It is closely related to H. capitatum Choisy s.l . an Irano-Turanian element of Anatolia. Diagnostic morphological characters were discussed. The pollen characters of three taxa were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
