Abstract
Little information has been available to justify the species status of the rare Turkmenian Medicago sinskiae Uljan. recognized by Uljanova in 1964. The holotype and plants raised from its seeds were examined, the chromosome number was determined, and a numerical taxonomic comparison was made of M. sinskiae and the other 12 species of Medicago section Spirocarpos subsection Pachyspirae. It was found that M. sinskiae is well separated from the most closely related species of Medicago and deserves recognition at the rank of species. Key words: Medicago sinskiae, Leguminoseae, alfalfa, taxonomy.
