Distribution and morphological features
Local distribution and endemism is characteristic of most representatives of the genus Gagea . The totality of the localities of the described taxon also indicates its localization within the catchment area of the Atrak River with insignificant outcrops to the border areas in Kopet Dag and Big Balkhans (Fig. 3). This allows us to call it an easternmost hyrcanian endemic, the southeastern coast of the Caspian Sea and the mountain slopes in the basins of the Atrak and Gorgan rivers.
Appearance and morphological features of this taxon demonstrate kinship with G. subtilis Vved., G. vanensis (Tekşen and Erkul 2015, Figs. 1-4) and G. namanganica (Levichev et al., in press), as well as differences from G. tenera (Ali and Levichev 2007, Fig. 19 are given in Table 1.
