Iran. Ir.-Tur. element. A. sapozhnikovii Schischkin (in Ber. Tomsker Staats-Univ. 80:477, 1929), described from B8 Muş: Melazgirt, c. 1500 m, vi 1916, Schischkin, is said to differ from A. saganlugensis only in having shorter legumes (c. 5 mm) and obtuse leaflets. In both these characters it overlaps with the latter species and is therefore probably conspecific.
