16 (2x). - Siberia (N, S), Asia (C, E). - Several reports.
Geography: Asian (C-NE): SIB RFE.
Notes: Yurtsev: Subspecies deflexa represents no doubt an ancestral type, e.g., with well developed stems, long lax inflorescence, and long stipitate almost cylindrical pods.
Elven: Subspecies norvegica is even more pronounced in these features. Its minute and very isolated range is within a part of Europe heavily ice-covered during the last glaciation and it is hardly an ancestral type, at least not where it now is. It is rather a recent (late glacial) segregate from the Asian "ancestral type".
