Project Data     (Last Modified On 6/3/2011)
Flower/Fruit: Fl.Per.: April-July.
Type: Type: Siberia, H. Ups. ult. 926.21 (LINN).
Distribution: Distribution: Central Europe, Russia; European Russia, Caucasus, Eastern Siberia, Central Asia, Pakistan (Punjab, Sind, Baluchistan).
Comment/Acknowledgements: Though the exact localities and habitats are not known in all cases, but whenever this information is available, it has substantiated in almost all cases that it is a plant of saline meadows, river valleys or grows in the vicinity of lakes. There is strong evidence to support the hypothesis that the migratory birds disseminate the seeds. This also explains the rather abnormal distributional pattern of this taxon.
