Abstract

Fraxinus excelsior subsp. excelsior is recorded for the flora of Iran. Two new varieties including Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. syriaca var. pilosa and F. angustifolia subsp. persica var. pubescens are described from West of Iran (Zagros mountain). Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. persica is the new combination. Also field studies approved that Olea ferruginea and O. aucheri are synonymous and they should be included in O. europaea subsp. cuspidata.
