Designated by: Aghababyan in Fl. Medit. 23: 135 (2013 [30 Dec 2013]).

Host: "The known or presumed host plants are chenopodiaceous shrubs (Halostachys belangeriana (Moq.) Botsch. [Arthrocnemum belangerianum Moq.; Salicornia caspica Pall.], Salsola dendroides Pall. [Caroxylon dendroides (Pall.) Tzvel.]) as well as Limonium meyeri (Boiss.) Kuntze [Statice meyeri Boiss.]. Should the latter host be confirmed, this would be the first instance of Cistanche parasitising a representative of Plumbaginaceae" (Aghababyan 2013: 137). "This is the first report of C. armena parasitizing Alhagi maurorum Medik. (Fabaceae) in Armenia" (Piwowarczyk & al. Plant Disease, accessed Dec 2016); "Alhagi maurorum Medik. (Fabaceae), Salsola dendroides Pall. (Chenopodiaceae)..." (Piwowarczyk & al. 2019: 11, sub C. armena); Annotated Checklist of Host Plants of Orobanchaceae, accessed Mar 2019).

Comments:

Taxonomic observations: According to Aghababyan 2013, Cistanche armena is a different species to Cistanche salsa. We share the same opinion about this species.

Genetic observations: NCBI 1914441, GenBank: KY062761.1 (Kwolek & al. 2016).

Distribution: "The area of Cistanche armena appears at present to be confined to southern Transcaucasia", Armenia and Azerbaijan? (Aghababyan 2013: 137). "The endemic species is known only from Ararat and Armavir provinces in central Armenia" (Piwowarczyk & al. 2019: 11, sub C. armena).
