| Summary: | <strong>Abstract</strong> <br /><em>Echinops </em>is one of the largest genera of the family Asteraceae in Iran which approximately distributed in all parts of country. Most species of genus are endemic to Iran and occurs exclusively in a very small area. Members of the genus are characterized by single-flowered capitula arranged into secondary inflorescences appearing as globose heads, which are easily distinguished from other genera of the family Asteraceae. In spite of taxonomic and phylogenetic studies, there are a few nomenclature studies regarding the genus <em>Echinops</em>. This research is the result of exact checking of species <em>Echinops</em> with International Code of Nomenclature. It was established that <em>Echinops kurdicus</em> Boiss. and Hausskn. (1875) is an illegitimate name as a later homonym of <em>Echinops kurdicus</em> Bunge (1863). So the name <em>Echinops</em> <em>rahiminejadii</em> Negaresh <em>nom nov. </em>is proposed here as a replacement name for <em>Echinops kurdicus</em> Boiss. and Hausskn. In addition, an image of the holotype is provided. |
