Flower/Fruit : Fl. Per. May July.
Type : Type: Turkestan, Serawashan, Komarov (LE).
Distribution : Distribution: C. Asia, N.W. Himalaya, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Comment/Acknowledgements : A very variable species; some forms may be confused with Draba steanocarpa Hook.f.& Thoms., but its aphyllous (rarely 1-leaved) scapes with smaller flowers and fruits are distinctive. Draba alticola Kom. is a dwarf form of this species with dull whitish flowers. It is primarily a perennating species but biennial or even annual forms are not lacking.
