Distribution: W. Pakistan.

This taxon differs from A. alpestre in the shape, the size and the surface of the fruit. The fruit surface has teeth-like scales on it. The leaves are also ternately pinnate and not 2-3-pinnate as in A. alpestre. In appearance the plants look like Pimpinella diversifolia but the vittae in the fruit are obscure. In P. diversifolia the fruit furrows are 2-3-vittate.
