A sample collected from the citrus orchards of the Sari Township, Mazandaran province (N Iran), was determined as Araujia sericifera Brot. (Apocynaceae), according to Markgraf (1972). This species and the genus Araujia, is new to Iran and the region covered by Flora Iranica (Rechinger 1970, 1974).

In a study of plants collected from the NW Iran, a specimen was identified as Bornmuellera cappadocica (DC.) Cullen & Dudley(Cullen 1965). This species and the genus Bornmuellera Hausskn. are a new record for Iran and the Flora Iranica area (Hedge & Rechinger 1968).
