| Abstract: | Two new species, Astragalus ghahremaninejadii and A. kharvanensis are described from Iran and illustrated. They belong to A. sect. Dissitiflori , which contains species with bifurcate hairs. The first is similar to A. pendulinus, A. baldschuanicus, A. kustanaicus and properly A. marguzaricus and only known from a single collection close to the Turkmenistan frontier. The second shows morphological similarities with A. dendroproselius especially A. viridis. Also A. dendroproselius is reported as a new record for the flora of Iran. |
