AA5EB515242BD04594E52808FE08FD7F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The shape of ovary is most similar to A. mirum Wendelbo, but this species has papery outer bulb tunics and up to 8 cm broad, elliptical leaves, a campanulate perigonium, up to 3 cm long pedicels, and longer obovate tepals of brown purple colour. The violet upper parts of filaments are similar to those of A. hindukuschense Kamelin & Seisums, but A. zhobicum differs from A. hindukuschense by much broader and scarcely recurved tepals of lilac colour and with rounded apices, and spherical ovaries.	en	Khan, Nazar, Fritsch, R.
