A description of a new species, Fritillaria katunica, from the Central Altai region is provided. It is most closely related to F. tortifolia in flower shape and coloration but differs in anthers color (yellow rather than purple). It differs from F. verticillata and F. leucantha in the internal flower coloration. Furthermore, F. katunica differs from all the above-mentioned species in the shape of its tepals. The distribution of the new species is currently limited to the Katun and Chuya river valleys within the Republic of Altai (Russia). A detailed taxonomic description, geographic distribution, ecology, and original photographs of F. katunica are presented. Molecular studies are used to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of the new species, and morphological data on its pollen grains are presented in comparison with closely related taxa.
