Abstract

Lindelofia stylosa (Boraginaceae) is reported for the first time from Iran. The specimen of this species has been collected from Kuh-e Karkasi (Dibaj, N Damghan, Semnan province) during ongoing floristic studies and research journeys to the southern slopes of the Alborz Mountains. Molecular evidence obtained from DNA extraction and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence analysis confirm this new record. Description, photographs of living plant and some associated species are provided.

Abstract [Persian]

گونه Lindelofia stylosa (خانواده گاوزبان) برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش می‌شود. نمونه این گونه از کوه کرکسی (دیباج، شمال دامغان، استان سمنان) در حین مطالعات فلوریستیک مداوم و سفرهای تحقیقاتی به شیب‌های جنوبی رشته کوه البرز جمع‌آوری شده است. شواهد مولکولی بدست آمده از استخراج DNA و آنالیز توالی ITS این گزارش را تایید می‌کند. توصیف، تصاویری از گیاه زنده و فهرستی از گونه‌های همراه ارائه می‌شود.
