The word Flora in Roman mythology is the goddess of flowers and spring season. Nowadays, the word flora is the name of one or a series of books introducing and describing the plants of a specific area. The plant taxonomists try to investigate and publish floras of their own country or any part of the world. Long-term efforts have been made to publish the floras covering Iran, mostly in a non-Persian language. Due to the lack of Flora of Iran in Farsi, plant taxonomists of the Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands started to investigate and publish the Flora of Iran in Farsi. In this regard, the flora of Iran has been published in 149 volumes, which is equivalent to 77 percent of the country's plants, and research is underway on completion of the work. Altogether, 66 plant taxonomists including the taxonomists of the Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Centers of Provinces and to some extent plant taxonomists of Universities have been contributing in the Flora project. Each Flora includes descriptions, identification keys, examined specimens, line drawings, and distribution maps.

Wild pistachio (Pistacia atlantica Desf.) is one of the Iranian tree species with a large distribution in whole country, and has a significant or limited presence in almost all provinces of Iran. This tree, like Juniper, is observed as wild trees and, without any exaggeration, is the most widespread tree species in Iran. In the first part of introducing long lived wild pistachio trees, 34 long lived wild pistachio trees are introduced and the details of 10 elite stands are given. The most frequency of long lived wild pistachio is observed in Khorasan Razavi province with 14 trees. Kurdistan province also has a high frequency of long lived wild pistachio. The thickest and oldest long lived wild pistachio was recorded in Chenar, Fars province, with a diameter of 245 cm and almost 2000 years old. The most glorious, highest and the most vital long lived wild pistachio was recorded in Rach, Khardarjan (south Khorasan) and Rameh (Semnan province), respectively.

This study was aimed at comparing the yield of native and non-native clones at the research site of Bojnourd in North Khorasan province. A total of 95 clones collected from different regions of the province and 45 non-native clones were investigated. Finally, 21 clones were divided into two groups of closed-crown and wide-crown and studied in the form of a complete randomized blocks design in three replications for 10 years. Vegetative traits including diameter at breast and height at the end of each vegetative season were measured, and the volume of wood production per hectare per year was calculated. The results of yield of 10 closed-crown clones including P.n.56/32, P.n.62/154, P.n.62/127,P.n.62/191, P.n.betulifolia, P.a.44/9, P.a.49/39, P.n.71/22*, P.a.71/21*, P.trichocarpa showed that, P.a. 44/9,P.a.71/21 (native) with a yield of 41.5 and 34.5 m3/ha per year, had the highest yield as the first group, and P.n.56/32, P.n.62/191, P.n.62/127 with a yield of 32.8, 32.6 and 31.5 m3/ha per year were in the second group, showing no significant. The lowest yield belonged to the clones P.a. 49/39, P.n. 62/154 and P.n.71/23 (native), and P.n. betolifolia with a yield of 26.7, 25.3, 21.9 and 21.4 m3/ha per year, located in the last group. The results of the yield of 11 clones (9 wide-crown clones and 2 closed-crown clones) with 4 × 4 meter spacing including: P.e. 455، P.e. 262، P.e. 561/41، P.d. 69/55، P.e.vernirubensis، P.e triplo، P.a. 44/13، P.a. 17/60، P.d. 77/51، P.a. 71/23 and P.n. 71/28 showed that P.a.44/13، P.e. 455, and P.a.71/28, with a yield of 24.8, 20.65 and 20.12 m3/ha per year had the highest yield and also P.d. 69/55، P.e. 561/41, P.a 17/60 with a yield of 19.53, 18.5, and 17.8 m3/ha per year were in the second group, showing no statistically significant difference.The lowest yield was obtained in P.d 77/51, P.n 71/21 (native closed-crown clones) and P.e. 262.

Purple coneflower [Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench] is one of the most well-known medicinal plant species with high economic value throughout the world. In Iran, the roots and shoots of this species are used in the production of herbal medicines. In order to evaluate the best seedling transplanting date in field as well as plant density, an experiment was carried out with six dates (April 9, May 9 and June 8, June 30, July 30 and August 29) and three planting densities (7, 10, and 16 plant/m2). The highest quantitative (dry matter) and qualitative (caffeic acid derivatives) yield were achieved in coneflowers transplanted in April 9 to May 9 and in higher density (16 plant/m2). In summer time planting dates, the highest amount of all caffeic acid derivatives and dry matter yield were related to early transplanting date (June 30) and higher density. Among the caffeic acid compounds measured, the highest amount was related to cichoric acid with 26.1 mg/ g dry matter in flower. In roots, echinacoside with 5.8 mg/ g dry matter showed the highest compound concentration. Overall, the early cultivation of the crop with higher plant density (15-plant/m2) could be more suitable for caffeic acid derivatives and dry matter production compared with delayed planting.

The Aq-dagh protected area is located in the south of Ardabil province. Geographic location, proximity to the Irano-Turanian and Hyrcanian regions, topography, altitude variation from 560 to 3332 meters above sea level, and edaphic diversity have led to the formation of a unique combination of habitats in this area. A high diversity of plant species is found in various habitats such as alpine, semi-alpine, steppe and wetlands. Due to the multiple exploitation in mountainous and lowland regions, a number of destructive habitats are also observed close to the steppe and shrub habitats. This area is the habitat of endemic and rare species, some of which, like Hedysarum persicum, have only been reported in this area. The fauna diversity of this region is also high with a variety of species such as Bezoar Goat and Persian leopard. The conservation of this natural reserve requires a program and a comprehensive management.

The conservation status of Scutellaria xylorrhiza Bornm in Isfahan province was studied according to the IUCN standards. This work was carried out using three criteria: level of presence, occupation level, and the number of mature species (based on field visits) and, according to the definitions and criteria, this species was introduced as endangered / EN. Field observations showed that Scutellaria xylorrhiza Bornm. is located in a limited area. The location of this species is in the central mountainous regions of Isfahan province, located in three areas, 1-the south-eastern city of Isfahan, 2- Lador Mountain, Khomeini-Shahr and 3- Karkas Mountain in Natanz (North of Isfahan). This plant is present on the slopes of the hilly cliffs in the altitudes of 1600-2500 m above sea level. Climate change and human activities, such as mining, land use change and degradation caused by the presence of tourists, can lead to a decline in the habitat of this species.
