Abstract
The genus Orobanche has 39 species in Iran of which nine taxa are endemic to Flora Iranica area. During preparation of Orobanchaceae for the Farsi version of Flora of Iran, Orobanche owerini is described and illustrated as a new record to Iran. O. schultzii is reported for the second time from Iran. O. cistanchoides, O. stocksii, O. caucasica and O. bungeana which have been reported as distinct species by previous authors are revised and accepted. Also, Orobanche caryophyllacea is represented as a valid species and it has the priority over O. vulgaris. Details on the habitat, ecology and taxonomic remarks of the studied taxa are given.
