N. Iraq, Iran, Transcaucasia, Afghanistan to W. Himalayas; Arabia. Ir.-Tur. element. Closely allied to D. gnidioides but in Turkey is distinguished by its glabrous branches, larger leaves and flowers.
After studying the species throughout its geographical range it was decided not to assign the Turkish material to any infraspecific group. Similar plants are found in Iraq, Afghanistan and W. Pakistan; those from Iran often have grey, very pubescent branches. Royle's specimen from N.W. India has grey-pubescent stems and much smaller (15-30 x 3-5 mm) leaves.
