Forms a rosette of basal leaves , lobed, flat lying on the ground; leaves are preserved during flowering ^[4] . The stem and leaves are covered with short white hairs .

Distribution

The species is native to the Mediterranean , but can also be found in other parts of the world as an introduced species, and often even as an invasive species and a large weed plant ^[5] .
