S., C. Europe, S. & C. Russia, Crimea, Caucasus, Transcaspia, Turkestan, Siberia, C. Iran ? A less variable species in Turkey than in Europe. The species requires revision throughout its very considerable range, and I prefer not to use subspecific designation for the Anatolian plants although they agree with the European subsp. ritro. Closest to E. microcephalus but without glandular tubercles and usually with a clearly longer brush.
