Distribution
This plant, known scientifically as Jacobaea boissieri, possesses a very restricted natural range. Its presence is primarily confined to the specific landscapes of Southwestern Europe. Within this broader region, the species is found exclusively in Spain. This localized distribution suggests that the plant may have very particular environmental requirements for survival. Consequently, researchers focusing on its habitat must look toward the Spanish territories to study its natural growth.
