Chaenorhinum semispeluncarum H. Yıldırım, Kit Tan, S. Şenol & A. Pirhan sp. nov. and C. yildirimlii Kit Tan, H. Yıldırım, S. Şenol & A. Pirhan sp. nov. (Scrophulariaceae, C . sect. Microrrhinum ) from east Anatolia are described and illustrated. They are both narrow endemics related to the rare C. cryptarum , also from east Anatolia. Chaenorhinum semispeluncarum occurs on calcareous marl rich in potassium nitrate at the entrance of wet caves in Malatya and differs from C. cryptarum by its erect habit, smaller corollas, shallowly ribbed and tuberculate, bicoloured seeds. Chaenorhinum yildirimlii from the neighbouring province of Erzincan was found on alluvial soil of stream banks and differs from C. semispeluncarum by its seed characters which are similar to those of C. cryptarum . Chaenorhinum yildirimlii differs from C. cryptarum , most conspicuously by the violet lower corolla lip spotted dark purple at the apex.
