Trifolium species and cultivars are considered important forage crops iran , growing throughout the country. The present article considered the karyotypic details of Trvulim taxa using multivariate statistical analysis. Taxa studied included: Trifolim restylinatum (six populations: Shazand, Soriyan, Kordestan, Harati, Enaj and Lordegan), T. repense, T, fragverm, T. prateme and T, alexandrin...

A succession of Late Campanian- Early Maastrichtian is analyzed from Gurpi Formation with regard to the calcareous nannofossils. Correlation Matrix was applied for the first time to the entire nannofossil assemblage to reconstruct environmental conditions. A detailed quantitative calcareous nannofossil analyses is performed on samples in order to further investigate the climate events, and inte...

Noticeable variation was observed in a number of morphological characters in the Glycyrrhiza specimens in various habitats in north of Iran. To study these variations, two taxa related to the Hyrcanian region from all four known taxa of this genus in Iran, including Glycyrrhiza echinata, and G. glabra var. glabra were studied by numerical taxonomy using morphological characters in three provinc...

In this paper, the new taxa Lepidium ferganense (Brassicaceae) was recorded for the flora of Iran for the first time. This taxon belongs to Irano-Turanian region. It was compared with the closest taxa in the present study. In addition, a morphological description, several Illustrations, and a distribution map were presented.

in this study, a taxonomic status of the genus roemeria in iran is reviewed. the study of morphological characters of collected and herbarium specimens led to the introducing of two new taxa, namely, r. hybrida subsp. maculata and r. refracta var. alba. in addition, five synonymies are made as following: r. refracta var. albomarginata and r. refracta subsp. occidentalis as synonymies of r. refr...

The genus Carex belongs to tribe Cariceae, subfamily Caricoideae and family Cyperaceae. This genus, with about 2000 species in the world and more than 50 species in Iran, is the largest genus among the family. In expedition to North West and West of Iran, two species, namely, Carex acuta and C. cilicica as new records and C. flava, C. rostrata and C. supina as reinvestigated species are reporte...

Sorkhankol Wildlife Refuge with an area of 1209 ha is located in the central part of Anzali Wetland.

The largest families are Poaceae (11 taxa), Asteraceae (8 taxa) Apiaceae, Brassicaceae and Cyperacae (5 taxa). The dominant life forms were...

A totall of 500 Early Permian samples from the Chal-i-Sheh Formation in the Zagros Basin were examined palynollogically in order to determine the stratigraphical age of the formation and to assess the palaeogeopaphicd relatianships of this basin to the Southern and Northern Hemispheres during the Early Permian. Fifty-eight taxa were recorded including 46 pollen, 10 spore and 2 acritarch spe...
