Rostraria hadjikyriakou (Poaceae) is described as new to science. This gypsophilous taxon occurs in three disjunct sites in the eastern half of Cyprus. From a morphological point of view there are similarities to the polymorphic and widespread R. cristata. However, it differs by a number of discontinuous characters from this species as well as all other members of the genus. Provisionally, it can be classified as “Vulnerable”
