The present paper is including some results of the project.Scorzonera Iuristanica Rech f. var. lanaia Safavi. is described from N.W. of Iran as a new variety to the science. The differences between the new variety and the type variety are also discussed. All of the Iranian Scolymus L. specimens (four specimens in the Central Herbarium of Iran, Research Institute of Forests and Rangeland "TARI" and one specimen in IRAN Herbarium, Research Institute of Plant Pests and Diseases) were revised and determined. According to the descriptions of Scolvmus L. species in Flora Iranica all of the revised specimens are Scolvmus iliaculmus L., although the
specimens were previously named as Scolvmus hispanicus L.
Among the specimens of Iran Herbarium one specimen was seen from Khuzestan: Shush, no.34009-E, the specimen has determined as Scolvmus hispanicus L. by Rechingcr (1977), this specimen has renamed to Scolvmus maculatus L. by the present author. So from two species of Scolymus L. in Flora lranica area only Scolvmus maculatus L. occur in Iran (West & Southwest).
