Endemic; Ir.-Tur. element. Related to A. karabaghensis, but distinguished by its densely hairy leaflets, etc. One of the specimens from nr. Tatvan (Rix 352) differs from the remainder in having a lax, elongate inflorescence and leaflets up to 16 mm long. This is considered to be no more than a shade form, especially since the other specimen from the same locality (Rix 353) resembles the remaining specimens in these respects.
