This species is an endemic of Attica and was first described in Parnitha mountain, in 1859.
It is listed as Vulnerable in the Red Book of Rare and Threatened Plants of Greece, most probably due to extensive collection.

I find it interesting your idea to design in a systematic way. It is very important to risk new ways of dealing with topics and scientific matters.Obviously, the scientific method is one thing and the communication about science is something else afsj_zabala https://padlet.com/eltzovani/16pwkvih8ym8/wish/328158496 Technical Note:
