The monotypic genus Pseudomarrubium is perhaps the most poorly understood taxon within the subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). While advances in molecular phylogenetics have clarified the phylogeny and taxonomy of Lamioideae, the systematic placement of Pseudomarrubium remains unclear, as it has never been tested using molecular phylogenetic analyses...

Stachys sect. Satureoides includes four species characterized by being annual herbs having oblanceolate leaves, urceolate calyx in fruit and dense hairs at mouth and are distributed from Eastern and Southern Turkey, Syria, Northern Iraq to Western Iran. The main aim of present study is to determine the phylogenetic placement of S. sect. Satureoides...

Distributed in Central Asia, Metastachydium (Lamiaceae) is a poorly understood and rare monotypic genus, with few collections known. The systematic position of this enigmatic genus within Lamiaceae has remained unresolved due to its poor representation in herbaria and coincident lack of available materials for molecular phylogenetic analysis. Facil...

Stachys L. sect. Ambleia Benth. with about 40 species are characterized by perennial herbs and stellate trichome that is one of largest sections among Stachys and are distributed in Egypt, Palestine, Anatolia, Iran, Ethiopia and South Africa (Cape). Recently, based on the limited representatives in phylogenetic studies, this section was placed in O...

The genus Phlomoides (Lamiaceae, tribe Phlomideae) has been recently re-circumscribed to include members of Eremostachys and a few other genera. As a consequence, several new combinations and new names have been suggested in this genus recently. Here, typification of 14 names in Eremostachys, viz. E. adpressa, E. alberti, E. boissieriana, E. czuili...
Article
Full-text available
Iran is one of the largest honey-producing countries worldwide and is considered as an important source of honey for international markets. However, since Iran is not registered for honey export to Europe, the quality of Iranian honey remains unknown to European traders. As the first step in filling this gap, we analyzed 225 honey samples using pal...

Background: A robust molecular phylogeny is fundamental for developing a stable classification and providing a solid framework to understand patterns of diversification, historical biogeography, and character evolution. As the sixth largest angiosperm family, Lamiaceae, or the mint family, consitutes a major source of aromatic oil, wood, ornamental...
Article
Full-text available
Trichomes of 60 taxa of tribe Marrubieae were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in order to assess their importance in generic delimitation. In general, two main types of trichomes were observed: glandular (capitate, peltate or branched) and non-glandular (simple or branched) trichomes. The results revealed trichome mi...

Full-text available
Unfavourable climatic conditions force Iranian beekeepers to translocate over large distances in the course of the year. However, irrespective of the main place of production, the honey is always labeled with the name of the beekeepers' hometown, which leads consequently to mislabeled products. The present study investigates the capability of DNA m...

Full-text available
Scutellaria with about 360 species is one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae. The Iranian highlands accommodate about 40 Scutellaria spp., and is considered as one of the main centers of diversity of the genus. Here, we present a phylogenetic study for 44 species of Scutellaria especially from Iranian highlands, representing major subgeneric taxa,...
Article
Full-text available
Scutellaria, or skullcaps, are medicinally important herbs in China, India, Japan, and elsewhere. Though Scutellaria is the second largest and one of the more taxonomically challenging genera within Lamiaceae, few molecular systematic studies have been undertaken within the genus; in part due to a paucity of available informative markers. The lack...

After more than 100 years since the first discovery, Scutellaria xylorrhiza, a critically endangered species listed in the Red List of Iranian plants had been presumed to be extinct. We rediscovered recently a population of this species in Sofeh Mountain South of Isfahan. Here, we perform the taxonomic history, phylogenetic placement and conservati...

Despite the increasing number of molecular phylogenetic studies conducted recently on Phlomoides, this genus is still among the poorly studied taxa in the family Lamiaceae in terms of trichome morphology. In order to test the utility of trichome characters in delimitation of sections, subsection and species, trichomes of 64 species of the genus Phl...

Nutlets of 20 taxa of Phlomoides, representing most of the currently recognized sections were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The basic shape of nutlets in most taxa studied is broadly ovate, but ovate, triangular and oblong ones can also be found in few species. Regarding the sculpturing pattern of nutlet surface, four basic types can be...

The main purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that Stachys persepolitana is extraneous in Stachys (tribe Stachydeae, subfam. Lamioideae, Lamiaceae) and instead belongs to the genus Lamium (Lamieae, Lamioideae). We investigated the phylogenetic position of S. persepolitana using plastid (rps16 intron, trnL-F and matK regions) and nuclear...

We have investigated the phylogenetic position of Stachys tibetica by use of both plastid (rps16 intron, trnL-F region and matK) and nuclear ribosomal (ITS) DNA sequence data and both parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic methods. All data corroborate that S. tibetica is extraneous in Stachys (tribe Stachydeae) and suggest a phylogenetic affiliation...

Although tribe Stachydeae (Lamiaceae) is considered monophyletic, relationships within the tribe are still poorly understood. The complexity of Stachydeae includes paraphyletic genera, considerable morphological plasticity, a range of ploidy levels, and presumably frequent natural hybridization. We performed parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic anal...

The leafy spurges, Euphorbia subg. Esula, make up one of four main lineages in Euphorbia. The subgenus comprises about 480 species, most of which are annual or perennial herbs, but with a small number of dendroid shrubs and nearly leafless, pencil-stemmed succulents as well. The subgenus constitutes the primary northern temperate radiation in Eupho...
