NOTES ON THE GENUS CARALLUMA R. BR. (ASCLEPIADACEAE) IN IRAN

The genus Caralluma represents in Iran by two indigenous species: C. edulis and C. tuberculata. Formerly only Caralluma edulis had been recorded from Iran. But a trip to the locality given for C. edulis in literature revealed that record of C. edulis in reality has been based on the specimen of C. tuberculata. Therefore the name C. tuberculata is used for the first time from Iran and C. edulis is recorded for the first time from Iran, correctly. A key to the species is given and the specimens seen by the author are mentioned.
