Abstract
A new species Tragopogon is described and illustrated from Northern Balochistan, Pakistan. The new species, here described and illustrated, is found in area west of Zhob city along the Afghanistan border. It comes closest to T. leucanthus, but differs from it, beside other characters, in its narrower leaves, number of phyllaries and a shorter cypsela beak. We have amended the key to Tragopogon in the Flora Pakistan (Fasc. 222, IV) to include the new species.
