Krascheninnikovia ceratoides

provided by wikipedia EN

Krascheninnikovia ceratoides, the Pamirian winterfat,[2] is a plant species native to Central Europe and Southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia.[3] It has been reported from Russia, China, Mongolia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Romania.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Krascheninnikovia ceratoides is a shrub up to 100 cm tall, appearing whitish because of a thick layer of finely branched hairs. Leaves are highly variable in shape, up to 25 mm long. Flowers are tiny, covered with long silky hairs, borne in axillary clusters and a terminal raceme; staminate (male, pollen-producing) and pistillate (female, seed-producing) organs are in different flowers on the same plant. Fruit is egg-shaped, about 3 mm long, with 4 angles and 2 horns.[3][11]
