“…The recently described Laser rechingeri AKHANI, a remarkable species with quite uncertain affinity in Apioideae, was clustered in molecular trees with Ferula and Leutea (clade 7). As noted in the protologue (AKHANI 1996), "the generic placement of the new species is questionable and can only be resolved when fully mature fruit is available. Various generic possibilities were considered including Laserpitium, Peucedanum s.l., Pleurospermum and Prangos.…”

The majority of endemic and subendemic Iranian Umbelliferae taxa have never been investigated using molecular approachs to phylogeny. 36 species from 28 genera of the Umbelliferae from this region were included for the first time in analysis using ITS sequence data to clarify their systematics. For some newly investigated (Leiotulus, Semenovia, Ducrosia, Echinophora, Pycnocycla, Turgenia lisaeoides, Prangos, Alococarpum, Bilacunaria, Elaeosticta, Johreniopsis, Pseudotrachydium) taxa the molecular data correspond to, or at least do not contradict with, their traditional, morphologically grounded taxonomy. Leutea was shown closely related to Ferula (not Peucedanum), and Opsicarpium – to Pimpinella. A taxonomically isolated position of Mozaffariania has been demonstrated. Haussknechtia appeared to be the closest relative of Demavendia and Zeravschania. It was shown that Calyptrosciadium belongs to Komarovia ‐clade, having long‐distant geographical disjunction. Close affinity of Heptaptera and Prangos was not supported. Similarly, Thecocarpus appeared to be distant from other Echinophoreae, putting monophyly of the tribe in question. As a result, new molecular data have cleared up systematic questions in some taxonomically uncertain Iranian Umbelliferae. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

“…Among these plants are thirteen new plant records for the flora of Khorassan provinces: Allium lenkoranicum Misczenko ex Grossheim (1927: 18), Artemisia chamaemelifolia Villars (1779: 32), Astragalus nubicola Podlech (2004: 570), Onobrychis gaubae Bornmüller & Gauba (1935: 114), Salvia pachystachya Trautvetter (1868: 462), Elymus caucasicus (Koch 1848: 413) Tzvelev (1976, Piptatherum platyanthum Nevski (1937: 336) (1753: 554). Some noteworthy and recently discovered new plant records or recently described species from adjacent GNP (Matin 1991;Akhani 1996Akhani , 1999Akhani & Scholz 1998;Tzvelev 1997), Aladagh mountains (Memariani et al 2012;Ghahremaninejad et al 2006) and Hezar Masjed mountains (Amirabadizadeh 2011) are recorded for the second time including Allium dictyoscordum Vvedensky (1935: 236), Cousinia leucantha Bornmüller (1911: 1), Cleistogenes serotina (Linnaeus 1762: 425) Keng (1934: 149), Festuca akhanii, Allium aladaghense, Asperula oppositifolia subsp. rechingeri and Hedysarum monophyllum Borisova (1947: 81).…”

Plant diversity of Ghorkhod Protected Area, NE Iran

Ghorkhod Protected Area (GPA) is located in a transitional zone among different biogeographical units in North Khorassan Province, NE Iran. The study area is mainly a mountainous region in western extensions of Khorassan-Kopet Dagh floristic province. We investigated the floristic composition, life form spectrum and phytogeography of the study area through several random collection efforts and 200 vegetation samples (reléves) in selected vegetation types during 2007–2012. A total of 663 vascular plant species belonging to 367 genera and 81 families are recorded as native and naturalized in GPA. Angiosperms and Dicots are among the most diverse plant groups. The richest plant families are Asteraceae (88 species), Poaceae (78), Lamiaceae (45), Brassicaceae (43), Fabaceae (38), and Caryophyllaceae (32). The genera Allium L. (17 species), Astragalus L. (15) and Cousinia Cass. (12) are the richest ones, however, the majority of the species belongs to oligotypic and monotypic genera. Life form spectrum of the study area is dominated by hemicryptophytes (38.9%) and therophytes (23.4%). Allium transvestiens Vved., Agropyron desertorum Schult., Helictotrichon turcomanicum Czopanov and Piptatherum latifolium (Roshev.) Nevski are recorded as new to Iran. The core flora of the area has the Irano-Turanian origin. However, the wide-range and widespread elements are also well represented in the study area. GPA is inhabited by several endemic, rare and narrow-range plant species, indicating the biodiversity importance of the study area in NE Iran.

“…In the checklist of the Poaceae of Turkey, Cabi & Doğan (2012) reported 30 Poa taxa including P. densa. It was also noted more recently in treatments of grasses for Armenia (Gabrieljan 2010) and Iran (Akhani & Scholz 1998) and mapped for Iran (Kavousi & al. 2015).…”
