Abstract :
The present survey has been carried out on sixteen species of the genus Linum L. in Iran with the aim to illustrate inter specific relationships and to evaluate the taxonomic treatments proposed for the genus on the basis of morphological and palynological studies and further application of multivariate analysis to the data resulted from these studies. Grouping of species has highly supported the proposed memberships of Linum species in Iran and application of palynological data together with morphological data has been proven to be efficient for application at sub-generic level in taxonomic treatments of the genus Linum in Iran.
