Illustrations, ecological habit, and a distribution map are given. The relationships of the new genus and species are discussed in terms of related taxa. Key words: Pseudodelphinium, Ranunculaceae, Iberis, Frankenia, Salt Lake, Turkey Introduction The Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake) basin is one of the most interesting floristic regions in Turkey. Halophytic vegetation is common in this region, including many threatened local endemic plant species (Ekim et al., 2000), such as Silene salsuginea . (Coode & Cullen, 1967), Kalidium wagenitzii (Aellen) Freitag & (Freitag & 2006), Salsola stenoptera Wagenitz and S. anatolica Aellen (Aellen, 1967b), Onosma halophilum Boiss. & Heldr. (Reidl, 1978), Salvia halophila Hedge (Hedge, 1982), Allium vuralii Kit Tan (Davis, 1988), and Dianthus aydogdui & (Menemen & Hamzaoğlu 2000). Recently, 9 new species (Saponaria karapinarensis Vural & Adıgüzel, Senecio salsuginea & Vural, Centaurea tuzgoluensis Aytaç & (Vural et al., 2006), Taraxacum tuzgoluensis Yild. & . (Yıldırımlı & DoğruKoca, 2005), Astragalus demirizii & Podlech (Podlech D., 1999), Linum ertugrulii Tugay, Bağcı & Uysal (Tugay et al., 2010), Limonium adilgunerii Yild. & . (Yıldırımlı & Doğru-Koca, 2006), Acanthalimon halophilum var coloratum Doğan .
