Hossein Lankarani (Persian: حسین لنکرانی) was an Iranian Shia cleric and politician who served as a member of parliament in the 14th Iranian Majlis.[1]

Prynce Hopkins describes Lankarani as "liberal".[2] According to Sepehr Zabih, during 1943 Iranian election in Azerbaijan, the Soviet Union favored to get Lankarani elected and banished his rival from the city to ensure his success, due to the fact he was known to oppose the ruling class in Tehran and advocated friendship towards the Soviets.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
