Abstract

A new species of genus Onosma is described from Central Alburz Mountains, N. Iran. Onosma alburzensis is placed in the sect. Onosma subsect. Asterotricha (Boiss.) Gürke based on its stellate-hairy tubercles. Its closest taxon is Onosma cardiostegia Bornm., which is distributed in the west of Iran, and differs from it by the shape and size of bracts and sepals, indumentum type, indumentum of the corolla, as well as distribution range. The new species is the first taxon of subsect. Asterotricha, which is present out of the previous distribution range. The ecology, distribution, and conservation status of the new species are noted. Also, illustrations and a distribution map of the new species and its relative are presented.

Abstract [Persian]

گونه جدیدی از جنس Onosma از کوههای البرز مرکزی از ایران شرح داده می‌شود. Onosma alburzensis با توجه به داشتن غده‌های کرک‌دار در قاعده کرکهای زبر بلند در زیربخش Asterotricha قرار می‌گیرد. این گونه با Onosma cardiostegia در شکل و اندازه برگک‌ها و کاسبرگ‌ها، نوع کرک‌پوش، کرکهای بیرونی جام گل و همچنین پراکنش جغرافیایی تفاوت دارند. این گونه اولین آرایه از زیربخش Asterotricha است که خارج از محدوده جغرافیایی این زیربخش دیده شده است. اکولوژی، پراکنش و وضعیت حفاظتی گونه بحث می‌شود. همچنین، نقشه پراکنش، تصویر گیاه و سایر اطلاعات این گیاه ارائه شده است.
