Abstract

Trifolium, with about 290 species worldwide, is a significant and the largest genus of legumes in Iran, after Astragalus and Onobrychis. The endemic rate of the genus Trifolium in Iran is low. Trifolium kurdistanicum and T. radicosum are the only endemic species, restricted to subalpine and alpine regions. This study aims to introduce T. retusum as a new record and report a rediscovery of T. sylvaticum for the Flora of Iran in Kurdistan Province. A detailed description, a distribution map, photographs, and an identification key for T. retusum from its annual related species in section Lotoidea are prepared.

Abstract [Persian]

Trifolium با داشتن حدود 290 گونه در دنیا، یکی از جنس‌های مهم و بزرگ بعد از گون و اسپرس در تیره‌ی باقلاییان در ایران می‌باشد. نرخ بومزادی جنس شبدر در ایران بسیار پایین است. T. kurdistanicum و T. radicosum تنها گونه‌های انحصاری ایران هستند که به مناطق آلپی و نیمه آلپی محدود شده‌اند. اهداف این مطالعه معرفی  T. retusumبه عنوان گزارشی جدید و کشف مجدد T. sylvaticum از استان کردستان برای فلور ایران می‌باشد. شرح جامع، پراکنش جغرافیایی، عکس و کلید شناسایی T. retusum از گونه‌های خویشاوند یکساله‌اش در بخشه Lotoidea ارایه شده است.
