Caucasia, N. & N.W. Iran. Ir.-Tur. element. Typically a low-growing decumbent plant with small often discolorous leaves, softly tomentose violet-coloured calyces with short teeth and fairly short corollas. Some specimens (e.g. B9 Van: Erek Da., 2000 m, D. 2295 1! B9 Bitlis: 3 km N. of Bitlis, Renz [Hub.-Mor. 11318])! are rather intermediate between TV. racemosa and TV. transcaucasica. The first specimen cited above is geographically disjunct from the rest but other than a thinner leaf indumentum appears not to differ from them.
