Note: — Gagea vanensis is distinct from other species in Turkey by having mostly a single basal leaf, roundish and solid in cross section. It is similar to G. ova Stapf (1885: 16) species group: G. stipitata Merckl. ex Bunge (1851: 512) , G. absurda (Levichev 1990: 665) , G. kunawurensis ( Royle 1839: 388) Greuter (1970: 155) , G. × turanica (Levichev 1990: 663) , and G. rubinae ( Ali 2006: 45) . The main differences rely on the features of vegetative bulbils (number, arrangement, shape, sculpture, and color in mature age) and the color of tepals ( Tekşen & Karaman Erkul 2015).
