This paper provides descriptions of three new Narissus species—Narcissus segurensis sp. nov., Nalcaracensis sp. nov. and N. yepesii sp. nov.—that are endemic to the mountains of south‐east Spain (Sierras de Alcaraz and Segura) and grow in meadows or deciduous oak forests. Characters, both vegetative and floral, used for determining resemblances and differences with other known taxa are discussed.
