Type : Type: Described from the Altai, Bunge in 1839 (LE, iso. G!).
Distribution : Distribution: Altai, Tarbagatai, Tien Shan, N.W. Himalaya.
Comment/Acknowledgements : The species, from the specimens studied appears to closely resemble S. gonosperma ssp. himalayensis, but differs in the larger calyx and pusticulate seeds. There is also some resemblance of this taxon to forms discussed (in notes) under S. gonosperma as S. duthiei.

Uncommon. Found in the N.W. Himalaya from 4000-4500 m.
