A new record and some rediscovered endemic Silene (Caryophyllaceae) species in Iran
Authors
Abstract:
Silene is represented by c. 110 species in flora of Iran which growing mainly in the mountainous areas. During several expeditions to different regions of Iran (Tehran, Semnan, Kerman, Kermanshah and Kohgiluyeh va Boyer-Ahmad Provinces) some interesting specimens were collected. S. caucasica, is introduced as a new record for the flora of Iran. Five interesting and very restricted Iranian endemic species including S. sojakii, S. nizvana, S. dschuparensis, S. daenensis and S. hirticalyx are rediscovered from locus classicus after single record of type specimens. The descriptions of these species are improved and their photographs, habitats, geographical distributions are presented.

Silene armena, a new record from Iran
During an exploration in boundary areas of Salmas (W Azarbayjan province, Iran) in 2016, an interesting plant from the genus Silene was collected. Determination of the plant material by using Flora Iranica was showed that, it is an unknown plant, but the specimen was determined as Silene armena Boiss. from the section Sclerocalycinae according to identification key of Flora of Turkey and Flora ...
full textA taxonomic study on the genus Silene (Caryophyllaceae) in Iran
The genus Silene includes 98 species in Iran, with 35 endemic to the Iranian plateau (26 species for Iran). The Iranian species are placed in 21 sections. In this article, the most important characteristics for the separation of the sections, relationships between the sections, and an identification key for the sections in Iran are presented. For each section a distribution map is provided. The...
full textin Silene latifolia (Caryophyllaceae)
• Sex ratio polymorphism has been extensively studied in Silene latifolia, but it is neither known whether inbreeding (which is likely to occur under field conditions) affects it nor which of the proposed mechanisms (Y degeneration, X-linked drive) is more important. Both mechanisms predict reduced pollen performance. • In this study, females were crossed with pollen from related and unrelated ...
full textThe origin and number of introductions of the Hawaiian endemic Silene species (Caryophyllaceae).
The Hawaiian endemic Silene are a small group of woody or semiwoody representatives from a large, predominantly herbaceous, species-rich genus. We here investigated the origin and number of introductions of the endemic Hawaiian Silene based on phylogenetic relationships inferred from DNA sequences from both the plastid (the rps16 intron) and the nuclear (ribosomal internal transcribed sequences...
full textThe indumentum of vegetative and reproductive parts of annual Silene L. species (Caryophyllaceae) in Iran
Large and diverse genera, such as Silene need more reliable morphological traits for the credible identification and delimitation of the species. Despite the fact that the type of indumentum among the species of Silene had been addressed in most available revisions, monographs and floristic studies, the trichome-based features and their adaptational importance have not been investigated explici...
full textA taxonomic study of Silene goniocaula (Caryophyllaceae) complex in Iran
By studying the type specimens and field works from locus classicus, it became clear that the two species of Silene eremicana and S. goniocaula which are considered as conspecific in the Flora Iranica are distinct species. Silene commelinifolia var. isophylla is considered as a synonym of S. eremicana. The numbers of herbarium specimens (voucher) are emended and the descriptions of each species...
