This beautiful little shrub was at first discovered by Labillakdiere on Stavrovuni in February, 

 1787, and has appeared to be endemieal in this island. Boissier, in the supplement to his Flora orientalis, 

 by some lapsus has indicated it for Crete on the authority of Sintenis and Rigo, but the locality quoted 

 by him, viz. between Kantara and Akanthu |not "'Akalka" as he writes], is situated in the northern 

 part of Cyprus; specimens from here are kept in Herb. Boiss. 



Labillakdiere is generally, even by Boissier, quoted as the author of this plant. As shown 

 above, Sibthorp and Smith have, however, published their diagnose three years earlier. 



Frequent on hill-sides and in maquis-formations, chiefly in the eastern part of the island. Mazoto 

 (JH 201), Ormidia (JH 78), Kophino (JH 571).
