Abstract

This paper communicates the latest taxonomic status of the oriental Pyrus species, Rosaceae from the Northern Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. Extensive field surveys were conducted and many plant specimens were collected during 2008-2012. A total of 110 specimens were identified with the help of published literature, floras of the adjoining countries and the available herbarium specimens. GPS values, ecological notes, flowering & fruiting time and vernacular names of each taxon were recorded. Details of the 4 species viz. Pyrus pashia, P. calleryana, P. bretschneideri and P. pyrifolia have been given in this account. Of these, P. calleryana, P. bretschneideri and P. pyrifolia are new records for Pakistan.

Abstract [Persian]

در این مقاله در رابطه با جایگاه تاکزونومی گونه‌های جنس گلابی از خانواده گل سرخیان در شمال پاکستان و منطقه کشمیر آزاد مطالبی ارایه می‌گردد. مطالعات صحرایی زیادی انجام گردید و نمونه‌های زیادی طی سالهای 2008 تا 2012 جمع‌آوری گردید. تعداد 110 نمونه با استفاده از منابع فلوری شناسایی گردیدند. مشخصات جغرافیایی، اکولوژیکی و زمان گلدهی و میوه‌دهی و نام محلی برای هر آرایه یادداشت گردید. مشخصات 4 گونه به نام‌های Pyrus pashia، P. calleryana، P. bretschneideri و P. pyrifolia ارایه می‌گردد. که از میان آنها گونه‌های Pyrus calleryana، P. bretschneideri و P. pyrifolia برای اولین بار از پاکستان گزارش می‌گردند.
