Description and habitat
editAn Eryngo with a number of upright stems. Near the bases are few to many complex leaves with moderately broad lobes. The stems branch about halfway up into a loose display of many flower heads that appear July to September. The flowering parts become very blue. Each flower head is surrounded by 5–9 slender spine-leaves, usually curving down somewhat, and within a head each small flower is attended by a small simple spine (outer ones of the head may be 3-parted). It naturally grows on stony slopes and fallow fields at high altitude (subalpine and alpine).[4]
It is allied to Eryngium kotschyi (Turkey) which has much finer leaves, and also may sometimes be confused vegetatively with Eryngium thyrsoideum, or in Transcaucasia with E. campestre.[5][6][7]
Distribution
editIt is native from Turkey and Lebanon-Syria to the Himalaya (Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon-Syria, Pakistan, Transcaucasus, Turkmenistan, Türkiye, West Himalaya).[1]
