Centropodia forskalii subsp. forskalii (Poaceae) is reported as a new record for the flora of Iran. This plant grows on sand dunes of SW and SE of Iran. Taxonomical and phytogeographical studies for two subspecies of C. forskalii are provided. It seems that Iran is a transitional zone for two subspecies in the Saharo-Sindian and Irano-Turanian regions.
