Abstract

The conservation status of Ferula flabelliloba Rech. f. & Aell., an endemic medicinal species
The Ferula flabelliloba Rech. f. & Aell., belonging to the Apiaceae family is one of the Iranian endemic medicinal species, whose natural habitat is located exclusively in Binaloud Mountains in Khorasan Razavi province. Baised on field visits and harvesting of plots in its habitats, area of occupancy (AOO) of this species was 40 square kilo meter and the extent of occurrence (EOO) was estimated to be 3990 square kilometer. Therefore, according to the criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), this species is classified as an endangered (EN). Therefore, in order to preserve the species, habitat as a genetic reserve should be protected.
