A. schizopterus Boiss., Diagn. ser. 1(2): 1843. Syn: A. pinardi Boiss., Diagn. ser. 1(9): 56 (1849)! Figure 2, p. 229. Map 49, p. 231.   Mat-forming, scapose, perennial herb with a branched, woody caudex. Leaves 8-20 cm; leaflets 7-10 mm, elliptic to orbicular, sparsely short adpressed bifurcate-pilose below, glabrous above, glaucous, 7-15-paired; stipules c. 6 mm, lanceolate. Peduncles 7-15 cm.

Calyx (14-)15-18 mm, tubular, sparsely adpressed black and white bifurcate-hairy, at least when young; teeth c. 5 mm, linear. Corolla creamy white, flushed with purple; standard 25-33 mm, sometimes attenuate above. Legume 30-45 x 3-4 mm, cylindrical, curved, keeled on the ventral side only, sparsely white adpressed bifurcate-pilose, often with dark blotches; beak 5-8 mm, straight. Fl. 4-5.

According to Boissier, A. pinardi has attenuate standards and A. schizopterus does not. There is, however, a complete gradation from one form to the other. A record of A. schizopterus from A9 Erzurum: Oltu, cited in Fl. URSS 12:614 (1946), probably refers to A. czorochensis.
