Abstract

Cardamine flexuosa With. (Cruciferae) and Carex orbicularis Boott subsp. orbicularis (Cyperaceae) are reported for the first time from Iran in Hyrcanian and Irano-Turanian phytochoria respectively. Taxonomical problems, ecology and phytogeography of each species are discussed. Also a clearer picture of distribution and ecology of Cardamine tenera Gmel. in North of Iran is presented.
