Ancient Idalion, palace area, among ruins (Hand et al. 2022).
Based on Georgiades (1995).
Alien: Casual.
An adventive species in Cyprus (Tsintides et al. 2002).
"First specimen-based record for Cyprus. At the cited location a c. 3 m high shrub was found, certainly not planted there. In Cyprus, the species is widely cultivated for its
edible fruits and as an ornamental plant (Tsintides et al. 2002). The species regularly naturalises, but is not popular with collectors, so there are no detailed documented
records. It should be classified as ‘Casual’" (Hand et al. 2022).
