Turkish flora numbers 187 species, 114 of which being endemic (Davis, 1975; Davis et al., 1988; Wagenitz et al., 1988; Guner et al., 2000; Duran and Duman, 2000; Turkoglu et al., 2003). Centaurea ptosimopappa Hayek is an endemic species distributed in the Mediterranean and South-Eastern Anato- lian regions of Turkey; widespread and locally frequent in the Amanos and Casus mountains (Davis, 1975; Reeves and Adigu¨zel, 2004). Aerial parts of C. ptosimopappa were collected in Hatay, the Amanos Mountain above Do¨rtyol (Turkey), 850e950 m above sea level in June 2003 (36 510 N, 36 130 E). Voucher specimens (Celik 2148e2153) are deposited at the Department of Biology, C¸anakkale Onsekiz Mart University.
