(Brasssicaceae) Özet: Crambe hispanica L., Anamurium Antik Kentinde (Mersin–Anamur) yapılan floristik çalışma sırasında Türkiye Florası için yeni bir kayıt olarak bildirilmiştir.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Cruciferae, Crambe hispanica, yeni kayıt, Anamur, Türkiye Introduction Specimens of Crambe L. were collected during the floristic study of Anamurium (Anamur, Mersin province). At first, we were not able to identify these specimens using the Flora of Turkey (Hedge 1965, Davis et al., 1988, Güner et al., 2000). Subsequently, the plant specimens were identified as Crambe hispanica L. according to Flora Europaea (Ball, 1964), Flora Iranica (Hedge, 1968), Flora Palaestina (Zohary, 1966), Flora Iberica (Gomez Campo, 1993), and Flora Hellenica (Tan, 2002). After thorough examinations of all the specimens and the relevant literature (Greuter et al., 1986; Khalilov, 1993; Özhatay et al., 1999; Özhatay & Kültür, 2006; Prina, 2000; Yıldırımlı, 2001; Tan, 2002; Donner, 2007), it was decided that this species is a new record for Turkey. Crambe hispanica L., Sp.
