Abstract

Medicago biflora (Griseb.) E. Small and Trigonella tenuis Fisch., two new records of the tribe Trifolieae (Fabaceae) from Iran, areredescribed. M. biflora and T. tenuis belong to M. sect. Lunatae Boiss. and T. sect. Bucerates Boiss., respectively. The former species is closely related to M. brachycarpa (Fisch.) Moris. and the latter to T. persica Boiss.
