Abstract :The taxonomic and corologic relations between Dianthus corymbosus and D. pubescens, which are mentioned in Flora of Turkey and the East Aegean Islands Flora of Turkey , and D. glutinosus, which is mentioned in Flora Hellenica, were diagnosed with identification of plant specimens collected from Marmara, Ege and Akdeniz Regions and review of related literature data. As a result of observations and evaluations, it is understood that D. corymbosus is endemic to Greece and D. pubescens is synonymous with D. diffusus which is also endemic to Greece. In addition, it is determined that the species which are named as D. corymbosus and D. pubescens in Flora of Turkey are D. glutinosus. Moreover, it is identified that inflorescence is glandular hairy and lower part is glabrous of some samples collected from Gökçeada Çanakkale . Accordingly, these samples are decided to be named as “var. gokceadaensis” under D. glutinosus since having similarities in terms of other characters
