Abstract
Centaurea fenzlii Reichardt (Asteraceae) is reported as a new record for the flora of Armenia. Centaurea fenzlii is a species from the Centaurea sect. Cynaroides, a section with no previous records in the South Caucasus. It is found in Vayots Dzor province, in the steppe surrounded by sparse juniper and oak communities. In this paper, a key for the biennial Centaurea spp. in the South Caucasus as well as updated diagnostic characters are provided. The article discusses phytogeographical data for the new population and addresses concerns related to the conservation status of the species.
