Fig. 1 Leopoldia tenuiflorae (Tausch) Heldr affinis racemus densus, cylindrico-conici nec laxus cylindricus, flores fertiles oblongo-urceolati nec tubularo-urceolati, purpureo-violati nec olivaceus flores sterilibus purpureus nec violacea. Capsula triangulares nec cordato-ovoidea differt. Type:— IRAN. Kurdistan: Sanandaj to Marivan road, Tijtij, Tijtij hills, 1650 m, 2 May 2010. Jafari, Dezyanian & Kaffash. 110. (Holo: IAUM, Iso: TARI). Bulbs c.5–6× 4–5 cm, ovoid with greyish cream tunics. Leaves 5–13 in number, c.20–40 × 1.7–2 cm, strap shaped, weakly canaliculated, attenuate with scabrous margins, shorter or longer than raceme. Scape 1, c. 23– 30 cm long. Raceme c.10–15× 2.5–5 cm, dense, cylindrical-conical, rachis violet. Pedicel of fertile flowers deflexed or ascending, c. 0.8–1.5 cm, violet. Fertile flowers 60–70 in number, c. 4.5–5 mm × 1–1.2, oblongurceolate, round shoulder, purple-violet in fresh and pale brown in dried flowers; lobes c. 0.5 mm ascending, weakly deflexed, black. Pedicel of sterile flowers c. 3–5 mm. Sterile flowers 12–20 in number, c. 2–3 mm, same length or shorter than pedicel, ascending, purple, triangular-campanulate. Capsule triangular, c.3–4× 2– 3 mm, obtuse. Distribution and Habitat: — L. tijtijensis is distributed in the Tijtij hills from 1630–1700 m in Kurdistan province which is part of the Irano-Turanian phytogeographical region. This species grows on stony slopes with Bellevalia pycnantha and B. glauca; L. tijijensis flowers in May. Four specimens were collected from the locality. The specimens are kept in IAUM herbarium. Comparison: — The most obvious characteristics of L. tijtijensis are the purple-violet fertile and purple sterile flowers respectively. The new species is similar to L. tenuiflora (Tausch.) Heldr in having relatively broad scabrid leaves which are longer than scape, black perianth lobes and horizontal or deflexed pedicels of fertile flowers. It differs in the shape of raceme, the shape and colour of fertile and sterile flowers and the capsule shape (Table. 1). Ethymology:— The new species was named based on its locality, Tijtij city is between Sanandaj and Marivan. Additional specimens examined:— IRAN. Kurdistan: Tijtij, Sanandaj to Marivan road. Tijtij hills, 1630- 1700 m, 2 May 2010, Jafari, Dezyanian & Kaffash, 109-112, (IAUM, TARI). The discovery of this new species raises the number of Iranian species in the genus Leopoldia to six; most of them are distributed in the west and north of Iran.Published as part of Jafari, Azarnoosh, 2012, A new species of Leopoldia (Asparagaceae) from Iran, pp. 61-64 in Phytotaxa 43 on page 62, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.43.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489495

Floristic study of five villages in Aladagh rural district in Bojnourd city, North Khorassan, Iran
No full textThe present research, a floristic study was executed on Imamverdy, Dartum, Ghapagh, Garivan and Niestaneh villages, located 30 km south of Bojnourd (North Khorassan province) with altitudinal range of 1442-1783 m. The present study aimed to identify the specimens, their possible medicinal properties, endemism and concervation status. For this purpose, the specimens were collected during March-November 2012 and identified using Flora of Iran and Flora Iranica. The results showed the presence of 133 species from 104 genera and 38 families, one species belonged to Gymnosperms and the rest, 132 species, belonged to Angiosperms, of which five families, 13 genera and 18 species were monocotyledons and 32 families, 90 genera and 114 species were dicotyledons. Moreover, 40 species were found to have medicinal applications in the studied region. Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Poaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae were the largest families and Astragalus, Poa, Vicia and Euphorbia were reported as the largest genera in the region. Erysimum koelzii, Astragalus khoshjailensis, Eryngium bungei, Acanthophyllum pachystegium, Sclerorachis platyrachis, Taraxacum hydrophyllum were endemic species for Iran. Astragalus ackerbergensis was found to be in vulnerable status and Rubia florida, Mentha longifolia, Fumaria vaillanti and Onopordum carmanicum were found to be at low-risk status. The maximum and minimum percentages of chorotypes were related to Irano-Turanian with 68.14% and Irano-Turanian, Saharo-Arabian regions with 0.7%, respectively. The maximum and minimum percentage of life form were reported to be hemicryptophytes with 45.8% and cryptophytes with 3%, respectively. The results reflected the cold and arid climate and uncontrolled grazing in the studied region
