Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Introduction The genus Bolboschoenus (Asch.) Palla, a segregate from Scirpus L., is widely distributed around the world, comprising about 15 species (Browning and GordonGray 2000). The knowledge on taxonomy and distribution of Bolboschoenus species developed during last decades considerably; nevertheless, world-wide taxonomic revision is needed, as some species are not clearly defined (Browning et al 1997). In Flora Iranica (Kukkonen 1998), B. maritimus and B. affinis were reported from Iran and Amini Rad (2003) recorded B. glaucus as a new species for Iran. In this paper, B. planiculmis and B. schmidii are reported as new records from Iran.
