Alyssum minutum is a species of flowering plant in the genus Alyssum, family Brassicaceae, native to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe.

An annual herbaceous plant, typically reaching a size of 5–10 cm, it grows on gravelly soil, rocky slopes and dry grassland.[2][3] It flowers from March until early summer.[4] Its chromosome number is 2n=16.[5]

Distribution[edit]

The plant is found in scattered locations on the Iberian Peninsula (at elevations of 1000–2000 m in the Baetic System and in the central and northwestern parts of the peninsula),[6][7] Italy (Sardinia, Sicily and Calabria),[6] Greece (throughout the mainland, Crete, Lesbos and some of the larger islands; at elevations of 500–1900 m, rarely as low as sea level or as high as 2200 m),[5][3] in southern Albania, North Macedonia, southeastern Serbia,[6] Bulgaria (in the Upper Thracian Plain and the north-east),[8] in eastern Romania, northern Moldova, in Ukraine (especially in the Black Sea Lowland and in Crimea),[6] western and central Turkey, in Cyprus, West Syria,[9] Lebanon, Egypt and Morocco.[10] It was reported as present in the Caucasus by the 1939 Flora of USSR,[11] but this is not mentioned in the other sources cited here.
