Abstract
In the course of a taxonomic revision of Hedysarum sect. Crinifera (Fabaceae) in Iran, specimens of a gypsophilous plant from Lorestan Province were found to differ considerably from the previously described species in that group. Consequently, a new species, H. gypsophilum Dehshiri, is described and illustrated. Its taxonomy relative to the closest relatives is discussed, and a key to the Iranian species of Hedysarum sect. Crinifera is provided.
