The species is known from the only locality in Orenburg Region and Russia, isolated at the northern margin of its distribution area, where the only small population is known. It was observed in a petrophytic steppe on saline substrates, co-occurring with Camphorosma monspeliaca , Artemisia nitrosa , Atriplex cana etc. ( Stepanova and Safronova 2019). The species population is situated next to the road and is in danger of further development of the road network. For this reason, legal protection is recommended.
