The new taxon belongs to sect. Carthusiani (Boiss.) and it is closely related to Dianthus pinifolius Sm., an Eastern Mediterranean element. A description, illustration, and identification key for the new species are given. In addition, D. ucarii and D. pinifolius are compared in terms of general morphology and molecular phylogeny. Key words: Carthusiani, Dianthus, morphology, new taxon, phylogeny, Thrace, Turkey 1. Introduction The genus Dianthus L. is located within the tribe Caryophylleae of the family Caryophyllaceae (Bittrich, 1993). It is the second largest genus of Caryophyllaceae following the genus Silene L. in terms of numbers of taxa. The genus has approximately 600 species that mostly grow in Asia and Europe (Dequan and Turland, 2001). The first comprehensive work on the taxa of the genus Dianthus from Turkey was Flora Orientalis (Boissier, 1867). Forty-eight of the 89 Dianthus species reported in this work are related to the flora of Turkey. In Flora Orientalis, the genus was divided into five sections: Verruculosi (Boiss.) Nersesian, Leiopetali Boiss., Fimbriati (Boiss.) , Dentati Boiss., and Carthusiani (Boiss.) . A more .
