“…The new taxa were assessed based on the diagnostic keys of Flora Iranica (Riedl, 1967), Flora of Iran (Khatamsaz, 2002), Flora of Turkey (Riedl, 1979), Flora of USSR (Popov, 1953), Boissier (1879), Johnston (1954), Post (1966), Polunin (1969), Ball (1972) and Nasir & Ali (1979). Several newly introduced taxa of Onosma were evaluated and compared with our new taxa (see: Teppner, 1980; Ghahreman and Attar, 1996; Attar and Joharchi, 2006; Attar and Hamzehee, 2007; Binzet and Orcan, 2007; Kandemir and Türkemen, 2010; Aytac and Türkmen, 2011; Koyuncu et al, 2013; Mehrabian et al, 2013; Ahmad, 2014; Binzet, 2016 a, b; Cecchi et al, 2016; Binzet and Eren, 2018; Mehrabian and Amini Rad, 2018; Mehrabian and Mozaffarian, 2018; Dehshiri, 2018; He et al, 2018, 2020). Additionally, more than 2500 accessions of Onosma specimens, and images of type specimens in several herbaria of Iran (HSBU!, TARI!, IRAN!)…”

Two new species and a new record for Onosma L. (Boraginaceae) from northwestern Iran

et al. 2022

Onosma atrii and O. persica are described and illustrated as new species and O. caucasica Levin is recorded for the first time from northwestern Iran. The two new species are placed in subsect. Asterotricha (Boiss.) Gürke, because of the asterotrichous indumentum (stellate trichomes) of their basal leaves. An extensive review of the literature and comparison with specimens from various European and Asiatic herbaria led to the recognition of these novelties. Our argument for these innovations is based on observation of significant differences in taxonomically important morphological characters including trichome type, shape and size of basal and cauline leaves, shape and size of calyx and corolla, annulus hairs, anther length, connection type and degree of exsertion, and nutlet morphology. The diagnostic morphological characters of closely related species are discussed, and for each new species a detailed description and details of distribution and conservation status are provided. An updated synoptical key to the species known from the Flora Iranica region and Atropatene sub‐province is provided.

“…The genus Onosma, known to be widespread worldwide, has a history of medicinal uses against different diseases in the folk medicine system of several civilizations. In this review, the authors rediscover the genus Onosma by detailing the important isolated and identified chemical compounds and extracts, including naphthoquinone (33), flavonoids (30), hydrocarbon (23), phenolic (22), ester (17), alkaloids (20), terpenoids (10), carboxylic acid (11), fatty acids (9), aromatics (12), and liganin (5). The Onosma phytoconstituents that are considered as potential leads amenable for drug development were reported as rosmarinic acid, apigenin, ferulic acid, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid.…”

“…The Asian continent has the highest share in terms of Onosma species existence [1], most of which are represented in Turkey by 88 species [2] followed by countries such as Iran and China by 58 [3] and 29 species [4], respectively. Iraqi Kurdistan represents 32 species of the genus Onosma based on the latest botanical studies [5]. However, recent investigations have revealed seven new species of Onosma in Asian countries, particularly Iran [6].…”

Ethnobotanical, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacological Activity of Onosma (Boraginaceae): An Updated Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The genus Onosma belongs to the Boraginaceae family and contains over 230 species. The present review sheds light on the ethnopharmacology, phytoconstituents, bioactivity, and toxicology of the Onosma species from previous investigations. Furthermore, the paper also highlights the unresolved issues for the future investigations. The review included previous studies of the genus Onosma available from Google Scholar and Baidu Scholar, Science Direct, SciFinder, Wiley Online Library, and Web of Science. Until now, more than 200 chemical compounds have been detected from the genus Onosma, including naphthoquinone (33), flavonoids (30), hydrocarbon (23), phenolic (22), ester (17), alkaloids (20), aromatics (12), carboxylic acid (11), fatty acids (9), terpenoids (10), while the most important ones are rosmarinic, ferulic, protocatechuic, chlorogenic, caffeic, p-coumaric acids, and apigenin. The Onosma species are reported as traditional medicine for wound healing, heart disease, and kidney disorders, while the pharmacological investigations revealed that the extracts and the phytochemicals of Onosma species have different therapeutic properties including antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, antitumor, hepatoprotective, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial actions. The summarized knowledge in this review provides valuable ideas for the current and future drug discovery and a motivation for further investigation on the genus Onosma.
