AN INTERESTING REPORT: WHAT IS KABULIA AKHTARII (CARYOPHYLLACEAE: PARONYCHIOIDEAE)?

For the preparation of Flora of Iran Caryophyllaceae: Paronychioideae, the herbarium specimens in the herbarium of Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands (TARI) were identified. Some of the unnamed specimens matched well with the description and an illustration of Kabulia akhtarii which was originally described as a member of Caryophyllaceae: Paronychioideae. Further studies showed that Kabulia akhtarii is a synonymy of Polygonum molliaeforme.
