  Endemic. Ir.-Tur. element. A rather isolated member of this section, simi-lar to some extent to A. brachyantha Boiss. and to A. oppositifolia Reg. & Schmalh. subsp. grandiflora Ehrend., but differing from both in the total lack of indumentum.
  Sect. Cynanchicae (DC.) Boiss. Perennial herbs or low semi-shrubs. Leaves in whorls of 4, usually with hyaline mucros or awns. Thyrses with various degrees of development or reduction of main and lateral axes. Flowers ± numerous, shortly pedicellate to sessile, subtended by short bracts. Corolla 4-merous, hypocrateriform to infundibular, with tube equalling to 4(-5) x as long as the ± distinctly appendiculate lobes, purplish or yellowish green to white. Ovary obovoid. Style bifid, with globose stigmas. Mericarps usually papillose to tuberculate, sometimes hirsute, rarely smooth. Syn: Sect. Cynanchica Griseb.
