Parsana is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Urticaceae.[1] It just contains one species, 'Parsana malekiana Parsa & Maleki [2]

It is native to Iran.[1]

The genus name of Parsana is in honour of Ahmad Parsa (1907–1997), an Iranian botanist and co-author of the genus.[3] The Latin specific epithet of malekiana refers to Zeynol-Abedin (or Zeinolabedin) Maleki, (1913-) the other co-author of the plant genus and species.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in A.Parsa, Fl. Iran, Suppl. Gen. on page 548 in 1952.[1]
