The species is a perennial herb with yellow flowers that is found exclusively in a small subalpine area of the Hawraman range's Rangin Mountain. Dr. Saman explains that the species "is named in honor of Dr. Ihsan A. Al-Shehbaz (Missouri Botanical Garden) in recognition of his help and advice throughout my studies."
