The series <em>Cousinia</em> sect. <em>Leptocephalae</em> ser. <em>Chaetocephalae</em> is raised to sectional rank as a comb. nov. It is characterized from the closely related section <em>Leptocephlae</em> by having solitary heads at the top of stems and branches, sessile stem leaves and yellow corolla. Three species namely <em>Cousinia crassipes, C. attariae</em> and <em>C. chaetocephala</em> are included in the new section. <em>C. attariae</em> is described as a new species from the mountains near Esfarayen in Khorasan province.

<em>Cousinia</em> <em>karkasensis</em> a narrow endemic from central Iran is described as a new species to science. The new species belongs to <em>Cousinia</em> sect. <em>Haussknechtianae</em>. Relatioships between the new species and other species is discussed. The new species is however more resembles to <em>C. gatchsaranica</em> based on the morphological characters, it is found to be more related to <em>C. raphiocephala</em> another member of the section <em>Haussknechtianae</em>, based on the molecular results.

<em>Persicaria lapathifolia</em> subsp. <em>nodosa</em> is recorded for the first time for the flora of Iran. Morphological variation of this taxon in Iran has been studied. This subspecies differs from <em>P. lapathifolia</em> subsp. <em>lapathifolia</em> by having densely glandular peduncles and leaves with golden glands beneath. The most characteristic features of this subspecies are presence of red spots on the stem and having smaller and lax spikes.

Chromosomes counting and flow cytometry method were used for assessing the ploidy level of various <em>Aegilops cylindrica</em> Host (2n=4x=28, CCDD) accessions of the National Plant Gene Bank of Iran (NPGBI). About 100 different accessions of <em>Ae. cylindrica</em> were estimated in flow cytometry analysis by using <em>Ae. tauschii</em> as a control sample. All the studied accessions fitted in 4<em>x </em>ploidy level. Chromosomes counts and flow cytometry data led to the same results. There was significant diversity in DNA index among <em>Ae. cylindrica</em> accessions. Cluster analysis was used for the classification of <em>Ae. cylindrica </em>based on their DNA content. Interestingly, accessions with smaller and larger DNA index had smaller and larger chromosome length, respectively. Also, the study of the relationship of DNA content and geographical distribution in Iran showed that there is diversity in DNA content of <em>Ae. cylindrica </em>for different areas of Iran.

<em>Heliocarya monandra</em> is a rare endemic species of <em>Boraginaceae</em> that grows in a limited area in central Iran. Since there has been no comprehensive study of this species, morphological and anatomical properties of it were investigated. For this, plant samples were collected from a locality on the Soffeh Montain in the south of Isfahan city in central Iran. Sections of leaf, stem and root were taken manually and prepared according to the current laboratory methods for light microscopic examination. The measurements were done in at least 5 replicates. Some properties of fruit and seed were described. Fruit consisted of an ovoid or orbicular one-seeded nutlet with 4-6 (-7) mm length, 2.5-4 mm width and 0.8-1 mm thickness. Seed was also 1.8-2 mm long, ovoid, with a curved beak. The leaf was isobilateral with anomocytic stomata. The root showed secondary structure. The stem had also both primary and secondary tissues. The results in morphology and anatomy were in agreement with general characteristics of the family <em>Boraginaceae</em> except for some differences. Details of fruit and seed are reported for the first time. Fruit characters are especially important to clarifying taxonomic relationships in the family. According to field observations, there is only one population of this species in Isfahan province and it seems that this population is at risk of disappearing in nature.

Species examined include <em>Papaver argemone</em>, <em>P</em>.<em> bracteatum</em>, <em>P. chelidoniifolium</em>, <em>P. cylindricum</em>, <em>P. decaisnei, P. dubium</em>, <em>P. fugax</em>, <em>P. gaubae</em>, <em>P. glaucum</em>, <em>P. hybridum</em>, <em>P. macrostomum</em>, <em>P. orientale</em>, <em>P. pavoninum</em>, <em>P. persicum </em>and <em>P. tenuifolium</em>. Among 27 anatomical characters examined (18 for midrib region and nine characters for peduncle), five characters in midrib region including midrib shape, presence of upper collenchyma, presence of sclerenchyma together with parenchyma layer, number of lateral vascular bundles and growth’s range of lateral vascular bundles and five characters in peduncle including peduncle shape, pattern of epidermis surface, presence of collenchyma in cortex, type of supporting tissue near vascular bundles and circles of vascular bundles are useful for separating the annual, biennial and perennial species.

Foliar anatomy of nine species of genus <em>Salix</em> belonging to different subgenera including <em>Salix aegyptiaca, S. caprea, S. cinerea, S. elbursensis, S. euxina, S. issatissensis, S. triandra, S. wilhelmsiana,</em> and <em>S. zygostemon</em> (<em>S. cinerea × S. elbursensis</em>) were studied using light microscope. Several features of leaf anatomy, i. e. transverse section outline, lamina thickness, epidermis characteristics, hypodermis existence, mesophyll features, crystal types, vascular bundles characteristics, etc. are discussed here. Several anatomical characters in this study confirm the infrageneric classification of <em>Salix</em>. On the base of presence or absence of hypodermis layer in lamina, the genus <em>Salix</em> can be divided into two types. The outline of the transverse sections and stomata type differ among sect. <em>Cinerella</em> and the other sections. The delimitation of the closely related species of <em>S. aegyptiaca, S. caprea and S. cinerea</em> belong to sect. <em>Cinerella</em> is difficult, but they can be distinguished based on some anatomical characters. This study has provided interesting results about the studied hybrid <em>S. zygostemon</em>.

The geographic distribution of the family <em>Fabaceae</em> (except the genus <em>Astragalus</em>) in Iran has been analyzed using a dataset of 10408 georeferenced observations. The 429 species of the family is distributed in whole Iran; however, about half of the observations are from provinces like, Fars, Hormozgan, Tehran, Bushehr and Mazandaran. The family has 173 rare species and 117 endemic species. The highest record for the maximum distance between two observations of one species (MaxD) is 2140 kilometer. East-Azerbaijan, Khorasan Razavi, Fars, Lorestan and West-Azerbaijan have the highest number of rare species. Species richness was mapped with the point-to-grid richness analysis tool DIVA-GIS, using a 10×10 kilometer grid cell and the circular neighborhood option with a 50 km radius. High species richness occurs in Fars, Gilan and Lorestan; also in Central Alborz where the hotspot for endemic species is located. Forty four 10×10 kilometer grid cells are needed to capture all species at once. But ninety percent of the species can be captured in only twenty grid cells, which have the most conservative importance for this group of plants.

<em>Cyanophyta</em> of some paddy fields of Golestan Province (North of Iran and near Caspian Sea) have been studied between autumn 2006 and summer 2007. <em>Lyngbya perelegans</em>,<em> L. rubida</em>,<em> L. laxespiralis</em>,<em> L. sordida</em>,<em> L. putealis</em>,<em> L. dendrobia</em>,<em> L. scotii</em>, <em>L. polysiphoniae</em>,<em> L. erugineo–coerulea</em>,<em> L. cryptovaginata</em>,<em> L. spiralis</em>,<em> L. nigra</em>,<em> L. kashyapii</em> are new records for Golestan province and Iran. Results showed that <em>Lyngbya rubida</em>, in spring and winter<em>, L. perelegan</em> in summer, <em>L. kashyapii </em>and <em>L. dendrobia </em>in autumn were dominant species in all stations. Morphological characteristics of these species and some information about their ecological distribution are given.
