Abstract

In Flora Iranica Chenopodium album L. includes two subspecies as Ch. album subsp. album  and Ch.. album subsp. iranicum. In Flora of Iran Chenopodium album includes three subspecies as Ch. album subsp. album, Ch. album subsp. iranicum and Ch. album subsp. striatum. In this research Chenopodium album subsp. iranicum is transferred to a higher level as Chenopodium iranicum. This combination is made on the base of results of morphological studies, and SEM studies of the seed coat surface, ornamentation of pollen grain, leaf and stem anatomy.

Abstract [Persian]

در فلور ایرانیکا گونه  Chenopodium album دارای دو زیر گونه Ch. album subsp. album   و   Ch. album subsp. iranicum است. در فلور ایران Chenopodium album دارای سه زیر گونه Ch. album subsp. album ، Ch. album subsp. iranicum    و Ch. album subsp. striatum است. زیر گونه Ch. album subsp. striatum مترادف Ch. strictum  می‌باشد. در این تحقیق زیر گونه Chenopodium album subsp. iranicum به سطح گونه ارتقاء می‌یابد. این ترکیب بر اساس نتایج حاصل از مطالعات مورفولوژی، میکرومورفولوژی سطح دانه، تزئینات دانه گرده، ساختار تشریحی برگ و ساقه صورت گرفته است.
