Jurinea khorassanica from northeast Iran is described as a new species. Based on morphological characters it belongs to Jurinea sect. Stechmannia and its closest related taxa are the sympatric J. catharinae and J. dumulosa . However, the new species is obviously different from related species with respect to leaf, stem and head features. A detailed description, diagnostic table, illustrations and an updated key to the species of J . sect. Stechmannia in Iran are provided.
