Abstract

Scutellaria Linnaeus (1753: 598), with 425 currently recognized species (Paton 1990a), is one of the large genera in the family Lamiaceae. In Flora Iranica (Rechinger 1982), the genus is represented by 40 species, of which only 22 species grow in Iran and 10 species are endemic. Scutellaria glechomoides Boissier (1853: 67) ex Bentham (1848: 421) is an endemic species of Iran belonging to the subsection Lupulinaria (Hamilton 1832: 31) Paton (1990b: 347). Lupulinaria is the largest subsection with approximately 120 species distributed throughout North Africa and Eurasia (Paton 1990a, 1990b, Ranjbar & Mahmoudi 2013).
