REVISION OF ANACYCLUS

Fig. 18 Distribution of Anacyclus radiatus subsp. radiatus () and subsp. coronatus (A). 



Isolated collections have also been made from coastal regions around Oran in Algeria and 

 Tripoli in Libya. Its European distribution is confined almost entirely to warm coastal places and 

 around towns in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia. Subsp. coronatus 

 occurs only in Morocco and the Canary Islands. It occurs most commonly in the Sous valley 

 between the Haut Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, but occasional collections have been obtained 

 as far north as the Marmora forest near Rabat. 



Subsp. radiatus is mostly a ruderal of disturbed cultivated land but occurs on sand dunes and 

 other shifting habitats in coastal localities. Subsp. coronatus occurs mostly on dry sandy soil or 

 sand dunes, particularly in dried-up waddis.
