The geographical distribution of the genus <em>Acantholimon</em> in Iran is discussed. Altogether 79 species are known in Iran of which 65 are endemics. Except for the Hyrcanian province, the other 7 provinces contain at least one species of the genus <em>Acantholimon</em> , the Nubo-Sindian province having only one species. The C. Iranian province with 29 species contains the highest number of the species. This province has 14 endemic species of <em>Acantholimon</em> which is again the highest number compared to the other provinces. The number of endemics in different phytochoria is quite high; that is an indication that the limitation of provinces is well defined.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers have been used to characterize the genetic diversity among 12 Damask rose landraces from northwest of Iran. The 22 primers used in this study amplified 262 scorable RAPD loci among which 180 were polymorphic (67%). The average number of bands was 11.9 for each primer. Genetic similarity calculated from the RAPD data ranged from 0.261 to 0.995 with an average of 0.63. A dendrogram was prepared on the basis of a similarity matrix using the UPGMA algorithm and separated the 12 landraces into two groups. There was a good correspondence between genetic divergence and climate condition, though some landraces (such as L2 and L3) with diverse geographical condition were clustered in one group. The results showed a possible application of RAPD markers in assessment of genetic diversity in <em>Rosa</em><em> damascena </em>landraces.

subfamily <em>Salicornioideae</em> (<em>Chenopodiaceae</em>) from Iran. In all studied accessions a basic chromosome number of x = 9 is reported. First chromosome numbers are reported for <em>Halostachys belangeriana</em> (2n=8x=72), <em>Halopeplis pygmaea </em>(2n=2x=18) and <em>Kalidium capsicum</em> (2n=4x=36). The species of the genus <em>Salicornia</em> are divided into tetraploid and diploid groups. The newly described endemic species <em>S. persica</em> is only tetraploid (2n=4x=36). But the diploid group (2n=2x=18) may represent three different taxa. <br />

<em>Scrophularia </em>L.was revised in Iran. This genus includes 60 perennial, biennial or annual species and subspecies in Iran that 28 taxa of them are endemicof Iran (including new species). In this paper, <em>S. iranica, S. denaensis and S. papyracea</em> are described as new species. These species are compared with the their related taxa. <em>S. variegata </em>subsp.<em> rupestris</em> is regarded as a synonym of <em>S. variegata </em>subsp<em>. variegata</em>. Also the key of the species and subspecies and illustrations of the new species are presented.

In this study, eleven species of genus <em>Cicer</em> L. were studied and morphological and micro-morphological characters were evaluated. These species are classified in 4 sections: <em>Monocicer</em>, <em>Chamaecicer</em>, <em>Polycicer</em> and <em>Acanthocicer</em>. The understudied species assessed by biometric study, and about 40 quantitative and 38 qualitative characters were assessed. Phenetic analysis was carried out using SPSS software, and phenograms of these species were prepared. Furthermore, PCA analysis was carried out and the most variable characters were determined. Finally, the seeds and pollen of these species were also investigated using S. E. M electronic microscope, and the tables of characters were formed individually for them. Afterward, phenetic analysis and phenogram preparation were done based on morphological characters of seeds and pollen of the species, and the following results were obtained: <br />1.Distinction of <em>C.</em> <em>kermanense</em> Bornm., as an independent species, from <em>C</em>. <em>spiroceras</em> Juab. & Spach, in contrary to what mentioned in Flora of Iran. 2. Transferring <em>C</em>. <em>subaphyllum</em> Boiss. from <em>Polycicer </em>section to the <em>Acanthocicer</em> section. 3. In spite of leaf polymorphism seen in <em>C</em>. <em>tragacanthoides </em>Jaub. & Spach, it seems that the pollen characters are sufficient to devide it to varieties. 4. Division of species of this genus using quantitative and qualitative specifications of seeds. 5. Preparation of the table of characters for pollen and seeds of all species .

In the course of preparing a revision of <em>Sameraria</em> and its allies (tribe <em>Isatideae</em>) in Iran, we found some specimens of <em>S. glastifolia</em> (sect. <em>Tetrapterygium</em>), a species closely related to <em>S. stylophora.</em> Moreover, <em>S</em>.<em> elegans</em> is reduced to synonymy of <em>S.</em> <em>armena</em>. As <em>S.</em> <em>stenophylla</em> has also been recorded recently from Iran, a diagnostic key including all species of the genus in Iran is presented <br />
