Abstract

Ferula huber-morathii (Apiaceae), is reported for the first time in the flora of Armenia, where it is found along the dry slopes of the Arpa River valley (Vayots Dzor province). It was previously known to be a rare Turkish endemic. Additionally, after data deficiency from the early 1970s, we report the re-discovery of two populations of F. glabrifolia in Armenia. Data on population dynamics and conservation status of both species in Armenia are provided, and a distribution map and images of the species are presented.
