Krascheninnikovia ceratoides, the Pamirian winterfat, [2] is a plant species native to Central Europe and Southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. [3] It has been reported from Russia, China, Mongolia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Romania. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

Krascheninnikovia ceratoides is a shrub up to 100 cm tall, appearing whitish because of a thick layer of finely branched hairs. Leaves are highly variable in shape, up to 25 mm long.The flowers are tiny, covered with long silky hairs, borne in axillary clusters and a terminal raceme; staminate (male, pollen-producing) and pistillate (female, seed-producing) organs are in different flowers on the same plant. The fruit is egg-shaped, about 3 mm long, with 4 angles and 2 horns. [3] [11]
