5CF27BFE82665A9697940B62FE51A4D6.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The new genus is named after Iranian botanist Hossein Akhani. The genus consists of three species. The distribution areas of A. daghestanica (Dagestan) (Fig. 3), A. canescens (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan) and A. carpatha (Aegean Islands) are remarkably disjunctive. Akhania differs from the related Caroxylon by several remarkable characters or their combinations (Table 2, Fig. 4).	en	Sukhorukov, Alexander P., Fedorova, Alina V., Kushunina, Maria, Mavrodiev, Evgeny V.
