Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Results of a revision of Iranian species of <italic>Crataegus</italic> section <italic>Sanguineae</italic> are presented here. Previously, two species of this section, <italic>C. sanguinea</italic> Pall. and <italic>C. babakhanloui</italic> Khat., were reported from Iran. However, detailed analyses of morphological and micro‐morphological characteristics, as well as phytogeographical data, could not confirm this information; herbarium specimens recognised as <italic>C. sanguinea</italic> appeared to be <italic>C. pentagyna</italic> Waldst. &amp; Kit. (<italic>C</italic>. sect. <italic>Pentagynae</italic>), while <italic>C. babakhanloui</italic> should be included in the <italic>C</italic>. section <italic>Crataegus</italic>. The section <italic>Sanguineae</italic> is represented in Iran only by <italic>C. wattiana</italic> Hemsl. &amp; Lace, the presence of which is reported here for the first time.</p> </abstract>
