Two new species and a new record of the genus Astragalus (Fabaceae) from NE Iran
Year
: 2018
Abstract: During the study on the specimens of Astragalus sect. Ammodendron in the herbarium of Ferdowsi University
of Mashhad (FUMH), based on the last and most recent sources, two new species, i.e. A. microfoliolatus sp. nova and A.
rashed-mohasseli sp. nova were found and described. Morphological evidence confirmed that the belonging of these taxa
to Astragalus sect. Ammodendron. The most important differences between A. microfoliolatus and its closest relatives are
leaflets with very small size and glabrescent legume. Also, the main distinctive characters ofA. rashed-mohasseli are the
presence of hairs on the dorsal side of vexillum, oblong legume and short rachis. Hairy vexillum has been obseverd for
the first time in this section. In addition, A. aiwadzhi is recorded as a new species for the flora of Iran. Taxonomic
descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps are provided to expedite identification.
