745687E14367A10FFF48F943FA80C02D.taxon	description	Taxonomic and distribution remarks: — Centaurea stevenii makes a new record from Iran (Fig. 11). It is occurs in the clay mountains around Bazargan of West Azerbaijan Province, at elevations of 1400 – 1700 m (Fig. 3). The main distribution area of C. stevenii lies in E Turkey (?), Armenia and Georgia (Fig. 3). The species is relatively far from the main distribution area of other species of C. sect. Pseudoseridia. Chromosome numbers: — Centaurea stevenii is a diploid species with the chromosome number of 2 n = 2 x = 16 (Fig. 11 E, Table 1). Our results agree with the report by Poddubnaja-Arnoldi (1931) who reported the same chromosome number 2 n = 2 x = 16 for C. stevenii.	en	Negaresh, Kazem, Rahiminejad, Mohammad Reza, Ranjbar, Massoud (2014): A taxonomic study on Centaurea sect.
