Where it grows wild

Recorded from lowland coastal southwest Türkiye and a Greek island (Symi). By analogy with the genus it probably grows on stony limestone slopes, in rock crevices and in openings in maquis and phrygana.

The recorded sites are at about 40–360 m, so it is a low-elevation coastal species.
