NOTE

This species is morphologically close to C. kotschyi (C. K. Schneid.) G. Klotz . The latter species is widely distributed in Iran ( Riedl 1969; Khatamsaz 1992). However, C. minutus differs from the C. kotschyi by the small (up to 7 mm vs 6-14 mm in length) and orbicular leaves (vs elliptic-ovate) and the light red fruits (vs black- purple) ( Fig. 3A, B View FIG ). This species occurs in Afghanistan, Kashmir ( Fryer & Hylmö 2009) and Iran.
