D33BF02CA31DFF8E45D9FE3420ADF870.taxon	distribution	Distribution: — Turkey. It is only known from the type locality in north-east Anatolia. Conservation status: — CR: B 1 ab (i, ii, iii) + 2 ab (i, ii, iii) (previously assessed as DD, according to Ekim et al. 2000; IUCN 2014 a). In the type locality, the population of the species seems to be small and scattered. Therefore, it should be regarded as Critically Endangered (IUCN 2014 b) because of its local distribution and small population size. Chromosome number: — 2 n = 4 x = 36 (Inceer & Hayırlıoglu-Ayaz 2010). Notes: — This species is only known from the syntypes and our specimens collected from Gümüşhane. Tripleurospermum heterolepis is sympatric with T. callosum, endemic to Turkey, T. repens (Freyn & Sintenis in Freyn 1895: 349) Bornmüller (1944: 337) endemic to Turkey, and T. sevanense. Table 1 details some of the morphological characters used to distinguish T. heterolepis from these species. As suggested already by Enayet Hossain (1975), T. heterolepis closely resembles T. callosum but differs in having the biennial habit and an almost densely corymbose synfloresence. Tripleurospermum heterolepis also resembles T. repens and T. sevanense but differs in having the biennial habit and short coronate achenes. Below is an identification key for these species.	en	Inceer, Huseyin, Iucn, Dd (2015): Redescription of Tripleurospermum heterolepis (Asteraceae), endemic to Turkey.
