Background and objectives: The genus Verbascum, with nearly 360 species, is one of the largest members of Schrophulariacea family. In the Flora of Iran, the genus Verbascum is represented by 43 species among them seventeen plants are endemic. Verbascum species are well known in folk medicine and are widely used for therapeutic purposes. Verbascum sublobatum Murb. grows wildly in north of Iran. ...

were isolated from the roots of Verbascum lasianthum Boiss. ex Bentham. In addition, 2 phenylethanoid glycosides, verbascoside {=acteoside, [β-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-(3′-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(4′ O-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside} (4) and poliumoside {= [β-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-(3′,6′-O-αL-dirhamnopyranosyl)-(4′ -O-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside} (5), were also isolated. The structur...

Low levels of genetic diversity and divergence at nuclear loci have previously been observed for cycloidea and fil1-like genes within and between several Antirrhinum species, and divergence at these loci is also low between species in genera at different levels of relatedness in the former family Scrophulariaceae (Digitalis and Verbascum). The low divergence values are surprising, because (base...

The article contains new information about the locations of rare and spreading species flowering plants in Western Siberia Southern Ural (Kurgan Region, Chelyabinsk Tomsk Republic Altai).
