Legume 8-10 xc. 3 mm, oblong-ovoid, adpressed white, bifurcate-strigillose, erecto-patent; beak c. 2 mm, curved. Fl. 5-7. Alpine meadows, igneous scree, steppe, etc., 975-2400 m. Type: Austria (Hb. Linn 926/8, photo!). Turkey-in-Europe, Outer & E. Anatolia. A2(E) Istanbul: between Iskundru-koy and Kilia, vii 1865. Du Parquet! A6 Sivas: 22 km from Zara to Şerefiye, 1780 m, Hub.-Mor. 11914!

Boiss., recorded from A1(E) Tekirdağ: Çorlu, Büyük-han, Davidov, which differs only in having narrower leaflets, may be a form not worthy of recognition. A. sevangensis Grossh., a Caucasian taxon differing in having a white and purple corolla and horizontally spreading fruit, is recorded from A9 Kars: nr. Sarikamiş (Grossheim 5: map 373); it may be synonymous with A. onobrychis. |
