Description
First described in 1885, native to western Iran, at very high altitudes. The range was originally collected on a mountain pass south of Hamedan, above the Ganjameh waterfall. The species is somewhat reminiscent of A. akaka, but the ribbon-shaped leaves appear with four to six (only one or two in A. akaka). The dainty, silvery-white, star-shaped flowers show a darker stripe on the petals and the stamens turn purplish pink.
