This plant is probably endemic to the Caucasus but I can't find any information on endemism for this part of Russia. The small creamy flowers always have just a few florets and it is found in the high alpine meadows in the grassy parts and on rock and screes. Unusually for clovers which are so often used as nitrogen fixing plants in crop rotation, this one does not have any root nodules and so does not fix nitrogen from the air to nitrate.
