C. aggregata Fisch. & Mey. ex DC, Prodr. 6:585 (1838).   Perennial, stems erect, (30-)40-75 cm, branched in upper part, capitula in small clusters of (2-)3-5(-10), congested at end of branches. Lower and median leaves lyrate with large lanceolate terminal segment and 2-5 pairs of narrowly lanceolate lateral segments, rarely lower undivided; upper simple, lanceolate to oblanceolate, sometimes with a pair of lobes near base. Involucre (9-)10-13 x 3.5-5 mm, nearly cylindrical. Appendages rather small, with spreading tip, brown, with 5-8(-9) cilia on each side (1-2 mm), ending in a c. 0.5 mm mucro. Flowers purple, marginal not radiant. Achenes 2.8-3 mm; pappus (2-)2.5-3.5 mm. Fl. 7-8. Dry rocky slopes, forests, 700-1800(-2000) m. 1. Stem and leaves scabrous and slightly arachnoid, green subsp. aggregata 1. Stem and leaves persistently grey-tomentose subsp. albida subsp. aggregata.

Cİ0 Hakkari: Zab gorge, 48 km S. of Başkale, D. 23811 (differing in the narrower segments of the leaves)!   Transcaucasia, N.W. & W. Iran, N. Iraq. In most cases easily recognized by the congested heads with small brownish appendages and very short terminal mucro, and the fresh green lyrate leaves. While the type of C. amani Post shows scarcely any differences, one gathering from the Amanus (Yağlipinar S. of Yarpuz, 1150-1350 m, Hub.-Mor. 15885!) has a distinctly different habit: only up to 30 cm high and most capitula single, perhaps corresponding to C. aggregata var. microcephala Post (Fl. Syria 465:1896).
