The species was reported for the floristic region West Frontier Mountains
(Петрова, 1992). Nevertheless, we consider it as necessary to point out its find on
serpentine rocks for the first time.
The species area covers the largest part of Europe with some exceptions to the
north and east (Tm in et a)., 1996).
The species is reported for the following floristic regions: North-Eastern Bulgaria,
Stara Plauina Mountain, Znepole region, West Frontier Mountains, Rila Mountain,
Rhodopes Mountains (Central), (Петрова, 1992), Mesta valley and Lozen Mountain

region Struma valley is not included in the chorological information despite die presence
of a herbar specimen SOM-159G15.
