Type: Turkey C10 Hakkari: d. Yüksekova, Sat Da., NW of Sat Gölu, 2900-3000 m, Davis 45683 (holo. E!).
S.E. Anatolia. B9 Bitlis: 30 km from Nemrut Da., 2220 m, Birand & Kara-manoğlu 229! Muş: between Bulanik and Muş, 2000 m, Hub.-Mor. 10681!
A specimen from B9 Ağri: between Ağri and Doğubayazit, 1750 m, D. Walton 33! has bracts which are narrowly ovate. A gathering from C10 Hakkari: 21 km from Bacirge to Yüksekova, 2230 m, D. 45231! is somewhat intermediate between the two subspecies. The leaflet indumentum is fairly dense, but the inflorescence is subglobose; the flowers also have two minute, linear bracteoles.
The species is endemic to Turkey. Ir.-Tur. element. Allied to A. karabaghensis.
