Type.
IRAQ, between Ramadi and Rutbah, Rechinger 9886 (holotype W!; isotype E!).
Distinguishing features.
Lateral branches numerous, short (2-4 cm), rigid, stout, strongly spinescent. Leaves somewhat caducous. Flowers several together, the inflorescence often elongating at maturity, reaching 3 cm in length
Distribution.
Iraq (Rechinger 8190, 9571, Barklay & Abbas-al-Ani 3606, Alizzi & Omar 35230); Iran (Bokhari et al. 14790). Less common than the type variety.
Notes.
The type of this subspecies is immature and almost flowerless. It could easily be interpreted as a form of Convolvulus hamrinensis with apiculate leaves. We have based our interpretation of this subspecies on Guest, Rawi & Rechinger 16058, apparently the same collection as Rechinger 8190).
