“…In Flora Iranica (Rechinger 1984) 54 species from Iran were treated under eight sections: Dendrobrychis, Lophobrychis, Onobrychis, Laxiflorae, Anthyllium, Afghanicae, Heliobrychis, and Hymenobrychis. However, the number of species of this genus in Iranian flora is about 65 (Ranjbar et al 2004(Ranjbar et al , 2007Ranjbar 2009;Ranjbar et al 2010a;Ranjbar et al 2010c). The taxonomy of the genus continues to be subject of much confusion, mainly because of the different approaches to species delimitation, resulting in varying numbers of recognized species (Boissier 1872;Sirjaev 1925;Hedge 1970;Ball 1978;Duman and Vural 1990;Aktoklu 2001;Ranjbar et al 2004Ranjbar et al , 2007Ranjbar et al , 2011Ranjbar et al , 2012Ranjbar 2009;Ranjbar et al 2009f;Ranjbar et al 2010aRanjbar et al , 2010bToluei et al 2012Toluei et al , 2013.…”

“…These eleven populations represent the only known O. carduchorum populations in Iran (based on over ten years of extensive studies of the genus Onobrychis in Iran: e.g. Karamian et al 2010a, Ranjbar et al 2004, 2009a, 2009b, 2010c, 2010d, 2010e, 2011, Toluei et al 2010. The specimens were prepared according to established herbarium techniques and voucher specimens were deposited in the herbarium of Bu-Ali-Sina University (BASU).…”

“…in Iran (e.g. Ranjbar et al 2004, 2009a, 2009b, 2010c, 2010d, 2010e, Toluei et al 2010, the present investigation was carried out to provide for the first time a detailed taxonomic, morphological, genetic and ecogeographical characterization of O. carduchorum in Iran and to test whether different populations of O. carduchorum are differentiated with respect to the corresponding environmental conditions. Because of lack of information about the Iranian range of this species, we here present a description of this species in Iran and compare it to information derived from occurrences of the species in other countries.…”

Aims -Iran is one of the main centres of diversity for the genus Onobrychis Miller. This study includes 55 specimens from eleven representative wild populations of Onobrychis carduchorum C.C.Towns. originating from their natural habitats in Iran. The aims of this study are to provide a detailed taxonomical, morphological, genetic and ecogeographical characterization of O. carduchorum in Iran. Methods -The specimens which represent all Iranian populations were biometrically assessed using 45 quantitative and fifteen qualitative morphological characters. The phenotypic variation among the populations depends on various environmental factors; thus at each sample site we recorded data regarding longitude, latitude, altitude, slope inclination, slope orientation, substrate, minimum and maximum annual temperatures, number of rainy days, annual precipitation as well as soil traits including texture, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, total neutralizing value, pH, and saturation percentage. The floristic composition of each population habitat was examined as an indicator of environmental conditions. To assess genetic variation, we obtained nucleotide sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) and carried out genomic fingerprints using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analysis. Results -Cluster analysis of morphological characters showed that the eleven populations could be divided into two major groups including five subgroups. Principal component analysis (PCA) of floristic data confirmed the two major morphological groups suggesting habitudinal segregation among the groups and the indicative value of floristic composition of study sites in assessing intraspecific variation in the target species. Furthermore, canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) of ecogeographic data showed correlations between morphological variations and ecogeographic factors. Longitude, latitude, substrate, available potassium, clay%, total nitrogen, organic carbon, slope orientation, sand%, texture, altitude and rainy days are apparently the main environmental variables associated with morphological groups of O. carduchorum. Both ITS and ISSR data indicate that O. carduchorum is a young species with a recent divergence of its populations.

“…Plants of the genus are perennial herbs, rarely semi-shrubs, and occur in various habitats, such as alpine and arctic meadows, stony grasslands, deserts, or seashores (Choi & Ohashi, 2003). Recently, some Iranian taxa have been described from the genera Onobrychis and Hedysarum (Ranjbar et al, 2004;Ranjbar, Karamian & Johartchi, 2006).…”

Hedysarum al‐shehbazii , a new species endemic to Iran, is described and illustrated. This species belongs to Hedysarum section Multicaulia. It is confined to the western part of Iran (Kermanshah Province), and is known from a single population close to the Iraq frontier, although possibly also growing in the adjoining eastern part of Iraq. The conservation status of this species is ‘vulnerable’ according to World Conservation Union (IUCN) criteria. In addition, H. varium and H. syricum are reported as new records from a single gathering close to the Turkish frontier. Moreover, H. kotschyi and H. pogonocarpum are transferred from Hedysarum section Crinifera to Hedysarum section Multicaulia. © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2007, 155, 505–512.
