Habitat

The distinctive species can grow in sparse grasslands on less developed rocky-sandy dolomitic soils. It is associated with Juniperus phoenicea, as a part of communities which are rich at endemic species, such as Rothmaleria granatensis, Helianthemum pannosum, Silene boryi, Convolvulus boissieri, Anthyllis tejedensis, Thymus granatensis, and Saxifraga erioblasta.[1]

gollark: Randomly exploding *nuclear-powered* SSDs.
