Abstract

Amblyocarpum Fisch. & Mey. and Carpesium L. are small genera in the tribe Inuleae s. str. Amblyocarpum includes one species (A. inuloides) and the closely related genus Carpesium includes twospecies (C. cernuum and C. abrotanoides). These species are studied with SEM for the pollen and anatomical (stem and peduncle) characters. The results support the use of these characters for defining the taxonomy of these species.

Abstract [Persian]

جنس‌های Amblyocarpum Fisch. & C. A. Mey. و .Carpesium L از جنس های کوچک تبار Inuleae s. str می‌باشند. جنس Amblyocarpumفقط دارای یک گونه به نام Amblyocarpum inuloides و جنس نزدیک آن یعنی Carpesium دارای دو گونه C. abrotanoides و C. cernuum در ایران می باشد. در این بررسی، این سه گونه از ایران مورد مطالعه آناتومی ساقه و دمگل آذین و اسکنینگ سطح دانه گرده قرار گرفتند. نتایج حاصله تأیید کننده کاربرد این ویژگیها در تاکسونومی این گونه‌ها می‌باشد.
