Distribution

This plant is a specific medicinal species with a highly localized presence in the world. Its natural range is currently limited to the specific region of Western Asia. Within this vast territory, the species is found exclusively in Türkiye. This narrow geographical distribution suggests that the plant may be endemic to certain local environments. Consequently, conservation efforts must focus on protecting its unique habitats within this single country.
