(Asteraceae) در ایران 27 44 17366 EN Peyman Zarin Islamic Azad University, Hamedan Branch, Hamedan, Iran Farrokh Ghahremaninejad Tarbiat Moaallem University Ali Asghar Maassoumi Research Institue of Forests snd Rangelands, Iran Journal Article 2016 06 14 The genus Pulicaria Gaertn belongs to the tribe Inuleae (Asteraceae). This genus includes five species in Iran (P. dysenterica, P. vulgaris, P. Arabica, P. gnaphalodes and P. salvifolia). The most diagnostic morphological characteristics were kind of pappus, achene, corolla, phyllaries and form of leafs. In the recent study by Anderberg, focusing on the close relationship between the genus Pulicaria and platychaete, they have been announced synonymous. Platychaete includes five species in Iran (P. glucescens, P. carnosa, P. velutina, P. mucronifolia and P. aucheri). In this study the relationships between them were confirmed and therefore, the Anderberg’s view of convergence of the two genera was attested. Also, species identification key, phenogram and distribution map in Iran were provided and discussed. https://tbj.ui.ac.ir/article_17366_ef3a4714ecb3f391216b017269faa181.pdf
