Anahtar Sözcükler: Labiatae, Salvia macrosiphon, Yeni Kayıt, Türkiye Introduction The first revision of Salvia L. in Turkey was made by Hedge (1982a) in Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands, volume 7, in which he recognized 86 species, and 1 hybrid and 1 doubtful species. Since the publication of the flora, 1 new record and 6 more new species have been described from Turkey (Huber-Morath, 1982; Vural & Adıgüzel, 1996; Dönmez, 2001; Hamzaoğlu et al., 2005; İlçim et al., 2009; Celep and Doğan, 2009; Celep et al., 2009). Since 2005, as part of a revisional study of the genus Salvia in Turkey, the authors have carried out extensive field studies and collected a large number of specimens. In addition, population size, and phenological and ecological properties were observed in the field (Davis & Heywood, 1973). In 2007, during a field trip to southeast Anatolia (C8 Diyarbakır, C8 sensu Davis, 1965), .
