Alcea acaulis is distinguished from the other species in the genus by its very short stem. The second species, A. fasciculiflora, is morphologically similar to A. iranshahrii and A. ghahremanii which is distinguished by its leaf shape, flower color and indumentum features.BothAlcea acaulis and A. fasciculiflora are sparsely to densely covered by two types of glandular and non-glandular trichomes. The glandular trichomes are of clavate type and the non-glandular trichomes are divided into three types: simple, stellate and fascicled. The present paper, therefore, deals with taxonomic descriptions and relationships of the species, important diagnostic traits, micromorphological features of the trichomes, illustrations and the distribution maps of the species in Iran.     UR - https://rostaniha.areeo.ac.ir/article_121031.html L1 - https://rostaniha.areeo.ac.ir/article_121031_6c75394b6279088a78a9aad2caeacbcb.pdf ER -
