A note on Salvia sect. Aethiopis Lamiaceae of Iran

Abstract

Salvia longipedicellata is reported as a new record of Salvia species for the first time from Iran. The morphological characters of this species have been described; in addition the lectotype for S. hypoleuca and S. schimperi designed and the morphological characters of the first species have been described here. Indumentum diversity of S. longipedicellata is provided in photographs. Finally, two keys to a part of Salvia sect. Aethiopis in Iran has been presented
