Mandragora turcomanica, the Turkmenian mandrake,[3] is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, native to the Köpet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan and one location in neighbouring Iran.

The five sepals are fused at the base to form a bell-shaped cup, lobed to about two thirds of its length of 15–20 mm (0.6–0.8 in) when in flower, lengthening in fruit.

[3][4] Mandragora turcomanica was first described in 1942 by Olga F. Mizgireva[2] (Ольга Фоминична Мизгирёва), a Turkmenian botanist and former artist.

[3] Ungricht et al. in their 1998 revision of the genus Mandragora retained M. turcomanica as a separate species, although they were not able to examine either any herbarium specimens or any live plants.

[4] A 2010 molecular phylogenetic study placed M. turcomanica in a clade with the authors' concept of Mandragora autumnalis.

[4] In Turkmenistan, the species grows in shrubland, in ravines and on stony mountain slopes, especially among Paliurus spina-christi, at altitudes of 500–700 m (1,600–2,300 ft).

[8] In Iran, the discoverers of M. turcomanica described it as an "old medicinal and mythically important plant" but said that they were unable to discover earlier local uses.
