Stems several, much branched, up to l(-l.5) m, ridged, relatively slender, brownish, below with a dense indumentum of very short capitate glandular hairs diminishing above and arachnoid tomentose or glandular throughout. Leaves oblong-lanceolate in outline, 2-3-pinnatifid or pinnatisect; lamina usually densely glandular above, rarely not and then arachnoid, below lanate with glandular hairs on veins; spines numerous, variable in size. Heads 4-7 cm. Capitulum 20-30 mm; brush shorter or longer than outer phyllaries, 6-20 mm. Phyllaries 20-25; outer 8-12 mm, glandular, arachnoid or glabrous; median 15-20 mm; innermost loosely connate to about middle, or more, 20-25 mm, usually without long spines. Corolla blue, pale blue or whitish; tube 12-15 mm; lobes 8-12 mm. Pappus bristles connate to about 1/2 their length. Fl. 6-8. Stony and shaly slopes in steppe, limestone and igneous rocks, fallow fields, Quercus woods, roadsides, nr s.l.-1980 m.

Transcaucasia, N.W., N. Iran, Khorassan. Ir.-Tur. element with Mediter-ranean penetrations. Closely related to E. viscosus DC. and as in that species very variable in size and in the degree of leaf dissection; forms with strongly and little dissected leaves may occur in the same population. Most specimens from the east and south-east of Anatolia are fairly uniform in facies but those from theAmanus and the west of the species range show much diversity and approach E. viscosus; in the latter areas introgression may occur.
Although the type of E. connatus has not been traced, and may be lost, the original description (and the type locality - A9 Çoruh, Ardanuç) suggests that it is not different from E. orientalis.
Sect. Oligolepis Bunge. Phyllaries 12-20, inner connate in basal 1/2 forming, in fruit, a pentagonal coriaceous tube.
