Distribution
This plant is characterized by a very specific and limited geographical range. It is primarily found within the region of Southwestern Europe. More precisely, its distribution is restricted to the country of Spain. Because of this localized presence, it is considered a regional specialist of the Iberian landscape. Such a narrow habitat suggests that the subspecies is highly dependent on specific environmental conditions found in that area.
