As a result of extensive collections and subsequent determinations made in recent years through most regions of Iran (now preserved in herbarium TARI), three new species of Echinops ( E. longipenicillatus, E. procerus and E. shahrudensis ) are described and illustrated. All belong to E . sect. Oligolepis Bunge, which is endemic to Iran. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 140 , 181–186.
