Abstract

The taxonomy of Centaurea sect. Cynaroides is revised in Iran. A new species Centaurea karamianiae closely related to C. regia and C. amadanensis is described from Kermanshah Province, W Iran. In addition, C.gabrieliae and C. wendelboi are transferred from C. sect. Cynaroides to the new section C. sect. Ranjbarianae.
