Description

Narcissus cavanillesii is a bulbous plant, 8–18 cm (3.1–7.1 in) tall.[4] Unlike the remaining species of Narcissus, the corona is almost completely absent, which was why it was formerly classified as a separate genus.

Distribution and habitat

Narcissus cavanillesii is native to the southwest Iberian Peninsula and Northwest Africa (in Morocco, south to Agadir, and Algeria) and inhabits forest clearings, scrublands, Mediterranean pastures, riparian communities and road edges in sub-humid Mediterranean climates from sea level up to 730 m (2,400 ft) a.s.l., occasionally 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[1]
