Dictamnus hispanicus is a species of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae.
Description
[edit | edit source]It is a very aromatic herbaceous plant that grows to 70 cm tall. Its leaves are compound and light green. The fruit is a capsule.
Distribution and habitat
[edit | edit source]This is a perennial plant, typical of southern Europe, widespread in the east of the Iberian Peninsula on stony terrain and dry forest. The plant is also found in Spain, Gibraltar and also in Andorra.[1] The continued collection of this plant by herbalists and its restricted distribution have almost caused its disappearance.
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]Dictamnus hispanicus was described by Philip Barker Webb ex Heinrich Moritz Willkomm and published in Suppl. Prodr. Fl. Hispan. 263. 1893.[2]
Dictamnus: generic name that comes from the Greek "diktamnos" word composed of dike (mountain of the same name on the island of Crete) and "thamnos" shrub.
