Similar in general appearance to C. coum, the suborbicular leaves variously mottled with grey or creamy-white. Flowers honey-scented, the corolla rose-pink to deep carmine-pink, the basal blotch solid and without eye markings. The most obvious difference, however, is the position of the 9-13mm petal-lobes which twist through 90 degrees, almost horizontally, to resemble a propeller, winter to spring. Turkey, southwestern Anatolia, growing in coniferous woodland or in scrub, amongst tree-roots and rocks at 350-1500m. About as hardy in the open garden as C. cilicium and preferring rather similar conditions. Also an excellent pan plant, but disliking wide fluctuations in temperature and moisture when grown in small pots.
