Abstract:
In order to provide a revision on the subfamily Rhinanthoideae (Scrophulariaceae) in Iran an exact herbarium and field study has been conducted. The major findings of this study are: 1- Rhynchocorys maxima should be reduced under synonymy of R. elephas, due to priority of the publication of the basionym of the latter; 2- Rhinanthus vernalis is a synonym of Rh. angustifolius subsp. grandiflorus, because of overlapping of morphological characters applied previously in separting these names.
