The Sections Of Astragalus L. With Bifurcating Hairs In Iran, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
The Sections Of Astragalus L. With Bifurcating Hairs In Iran, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Turkish Journal of Botany
In this study Astragalus L. with bifurcating hairs in sectional levels in Iran are discussed (subgenus Cercidothrix Bunge). This subgenus has more than 800 species in the Old World. Major areas of species endemism for this subgenus occur in Turkey, Iran, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan. Iran, with 158 species, is one of the most important centres of diversity. Leucocercis Bunge is the only endemic section for Iran, although other sections have some species in different countries. Thus having a knowledge of the distribution quality in other areas is also important. In reality, this study is part of the author's research on …
Value Of Trichome Characteristics For The Separation Of Bifurcating Hairy Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) At The Sectional Level, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Value Of Trichome Characteristics For The Separation Of Bifurcating Hairy Astragalus L. (Fabaceae) At The Sectional Level, Farrokh Ghahremaninejad
Turkish Journal of Botany
The attachment of hairs in sections of Astragalus L. may be either basal or lateral (bifurcate). This study focuses on Astragali with bifurcating hairs in the Old World (subgenus Cercidothrix Bunge). In this study, it appears that the ratio of hair arm length, and hair form and length are usually stable at the sectional level. The proposition of uniting some sections based on morphological characters is confirmed by hair characters; for example, uniting sections Tamias Bunge, Acantherioceras Rech. f. and Pseudoerioceras Ulzijchutag with Erioceras Bunge. The most important characters in the separation of the sections are macromorphological, but hair characters …
