Description

Vegetative characteristics

Vavilovia formosa is a perennial, herbaceous plant. It forms long underground rhizomes as outlasting and long roots. The located 5 to 15 cm above the ground uplifting, spread or creeping stems are thin, not wrinkled and bald.

The alternate, stalked leaves are pinnate pairs with only one Fiederblattpaar. The two broad leaflets are wedge - to almost circular, thick, with a bare surface and a smooth edge. In some populations, the leaflets have a keel- shaped base - this was some time for defining a second type ( Vavilovia aucheri ( Jaub. & Spach ) Fed. ) Used. The foliage leaf does not end with a tendril, in contrast to many related species of the tribe Fabeae. The small, almost arrow-shaped stipules are not adherent to the petiole.

Generative features

The flowers are usually solitary in the leaf axils on an inflorescence stem. They are small, inconspicuous bracts, but no cover pages available.

The large, attractive, hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and fünfzählig double perianth. The five sepals are bell-shaped fused with almost same narrow triangular calyx teeth. The corolla has the typical structure of a butterfly blossom. The five petals are pink to purple. The short and broad nailed flag is usually oblong. The wings are sickle-shaped or oblong.

It is believed pollination by insects, but this missing data.

Those with a length of 2 to 3.5 cm linear- oblong legume opens and contains three to five seeds. The spherical to ovoid seeds are smooth, usually with dark spots on the surface.

Vavilovia formosa has a diploid chromosome complement of 2n = 14

Occurrence

It comes in Southwest Asia north to the Caucasus front. Locality data for Vavilovia formosa there for Iran, Iraq, Russia ( Checheno - Ingushetia, Dagestan, Severo Ossetia ), Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Armenia and the Asian part of Turkey. It thrives as plant debris in mountain areas at altitudes 1500-3500 meters.
