Gaudan, in Monte Kular, 30 May1898, D.I. Litwinow 1275 (Lectotype, LE!; isolectotypes LE!, MSB, W!)</p><p>Perennial, 28–44 cm tall undershrub, covered in vegetative parts with ± medifixed, appressed hairs. Rootstock slender, branched, with somewhat elongated stolons. Stems branched, the older parts greyish brown, stems of the current year (2.5–)4.0– 13cm, greyish white, rather densely to very densely covered with appressed white hairs, only at the nodes also with black 0.5–1.0 mm hairs. Stipules greenish, 2–8 mm long, at the base 1.5–2.0 mm wide, narrowly triangular to lanceolate, shortly adnate to the petiole, densely white or white and black or predominantly black hairy. Leaves 3–9 cm; petiole 0.5–2.5 cm, slender like the rachis, hairy like the stem. Leaflets in 4–7 pairs, linear, (6–)10–21 × 1–2 mm, acute, on both sides rather densely covered with white 1–1.5 mm hairs. Peduncles 8–24 cm, densely covered with appressed white hairs, towards the raceme also with increasing black and often nearly basifixed and spreading hairs. Racemes subumbellate to subcapitate, nearly oblate, 3–4 cm long, densely (3–)5–14-flowered, not elongating to somewhat elongate in fruit; axis covered with ascending to spreading white and black hairs. Bracts ovate-acuminate to narrowly triangular, 3–6 × 1–2 mm, densely covered with basifixed to subbasifixed, ascending to spreading white and black or predominantly black c. 1 mm hairs. Pedicels 1–2 mm, white and black hairy. Calyx tubular, 13–17 mm, gibbous at the base, obliquely cut at the mouth, rather densely covered with basifixed, tangled, ascending to spreading white 1.5–2 mm hairs and with ± appressed to subappressed, basifixed black 0.3–1 mm hairs in different relations; teeth subulate, 3–4.5 mm; calyx tube 10–13 mm. Petals pale yellowish, with faintly lilac standard. Standard 21–25 × 9–11 mm; blade obovate-orbicular to elliptic, rounded, slightly auriculate-angularly passing into the rather long claw. Wings 20–24 × 6.0– 9.5 mm; blades narrowly obovate, obtuse; claw 14–14.5 mm. Keel 20–21 × 6.0– 8.5 mm; blades semicircular, with widely curved lower edge and ± straight upper edge, acute; claw 12.5–14 mm. Stamens diadelphous (9+1); anthers c. 1 mm; stamen-tube c. 19 mm long, truncate at the mouth. Ovary white hairy c. 1 mm, with a stipe c. 1.5 mm, linear; style glabrous; ovule 0.5–0.6 mm. Legumes rupturing the calyx, sessile, erect, narrowly linear, straight or scarcely curved, 30–42 mm long, 3 mm high, 2.5 mm wide, keeled ventrally, slightly grooved dorsally, acute, nearly fully bilocular; valves covered with subappressed to slightly ascending or even spreading, symmetrically to asymmetrically medifixed, somewhat flexuose black hairs 0.3–1.0 mm and with mostly somewhat longer and often basifixed to subbasifixed white hairs in different relations. Seeds many, rectangular-oblong, 3.0 × 1.2 mm, olive brownish, smooth.</p><p>Specimens examined: — IRAN.
