Abstract
Hesperis kuerschneri, from the vilayet of Denizli in the Western Taurus is described as a species new to science and illustrated. Its affinities are with H. theophrasti, which has several infraspecific taxa in the Balkans and Anatolia. The new species occurs on steep serpentine scree slopes together with other serpentine plants of the Western Taurus and is rather local in distribution.

Key words: Cruciferae, Hesperis theophrasti, taxonomy, serpentine, Western Taurus.
