In a taxonomic revision of the genus Quercus L. in Iran, 25 taxa named by Djavanchir Khoie in 1967 were studied andevaluated. These taxa were described in his PhD thesis but not validly published according to Arts. 30.8. and 40.1. of the ICN. Accordingto our studies, seven of them are accepted taxa. In this paper we validate them. The original descriptions are provided, an identificationkey for these taxa is presented, and the types are designated in MPU.
