Description
Summary:A comprehensive study on Scutellaria materials collected in Iran revealed an undescribed species of the genus, belonging to section Apeltanthus which was not previously reported from Iran. The new species is morphologically most similar to S. leptosiphon and S. stocksii distributed in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. The occurrence of a member of section Apeltanthus in Iran shows a disjunct distribution pattern of the species of this section. Scutellaria lurestanica is described as a new species from Iran and is compared with the most similar species. Illustrations of the new species, a distribution map, and a table of diagnostic characters against similar species are provided.
