Habitat detail

"First record for Cyprus. It is cultivated on the island as a salad plant, and it has appeared in the vicinity of Livadi Akrotiriou in the last few years. Apparently, it is an escape from the nearby cultivation of aromatic plants. However, it seems to be spreading along the road and should be classified as naturalized non-invasive. Apart from Europe it is native to Turkey, whereas it is naturalized in Israel (Hedge 1965; Marhold 2011). + Div. 3: Livadi Akrotiriou, c. 1 m, margins of marshy place and road, 20 Jul 2013, Hadjikyriakou 7239" (Hand 2015).
