Abstract

Silene (Caryophyllaceae, Sileneae), the most diverse taxon of the pink family, is the fourth-largest genus of the flora of Iran. The current study reports S. baccifera of the monotypic Silene sect. Cucubalus, as a new record for the flora of Iran. Ascending habit, pseudoberry fruits, and deflexed saucer-shaped calyxes are the striking characteristics of S. baccifera, by which the species could be unmistakably distinguished among other congeneric taxa. The number of species and sections of Silene known for Iran by taking S. baccifera into account increases to 121 and 17, respectively. A complete description of S. baccifera along with its distribution map and conservation status herein is presented.

Abstract [Persian]

جنس (Caryophyllaceae, Sileneae) Silene، متنوع‌ترین جنس تیره میخکیان و چهارمین جنس بزرگ فلور ایران است. مطالعه پیش رو،
S. baccifera از بخش منوتیپیک Cucubalus Silene sect. را به عنوان رکورد جدید برای فلور ایران گزارش می‌کند. این گونه با دارا بودن صفات ریخت‌شناختی جالب توجهی از جمله فرم رویشی بالارونده، میوه‌های سته کاذب و همچنین کاسه‌های نعلبکی شکل برگشته به راحتی از بقیه گونه‌های جنس قابل تشخیص است. با احتساب S. baccifera تعداد بخش‌های شناخته شده این جنس در ایران به 17 و تعداد گونه‌ها نیز به 121 افزایش می‌یابد. گونه مذکور بصورت کامل شرح داده شده و نقشه پراکنش به همراه سطح حفاظتی آن ارایه شده است.
