Abstract

Full taxonomical descriptions were given to eight species of  Phelipanche Pomel (Orobanchaceae) recorded in Iraq. A key for species identification, habitat, flowering period, distribution in Iraq, general distribution and comment on species relationships were presented. Floral characteristics, photographs and maps of distribution of species were illustrated.
