Newly discovered plant

Villenaplantis is originally an event where participants are encouraged to share photographs of plants while they are walking but unexpectedly found an uncatalogued plant.

The findings which was published at the Journal Botanica Floral found that the plant is found at the southwestern area of the Iberian Peninsula from central Portugal to South Andalusia with the closest population being at Granada with a distance of over 300 km.

Discovery of the spring bloom considerably extends both the chorological area and the ecological behavior of this species.
