Characterised by the large coloured floral leaves, numerous bracts and pink to purple corollas. A relatively constant species in most of Anatolia, but variable in the S.E. (e.g. C7, C8) where it intergrades with S. trichoclada. S. bracteata forms fertile hybrids with the clearly distinct S. suffruticosa (e.g. B7 Elaziğ: Elaziğ to Pertek, 1300 m, D. 29191!). Sex forms are also not uncommon.
