description

Sideritis grandiflora is a shrub that grows up to 50 centimeters high with herbaceous, tomentose, hairy, flower-bearing branches. The leaves are 45 to 90 mm long and 12 to 25 mm wide. They are elongated, elliptical or lanceolate in shape and toothed at the edge.

The inflorescences are pseudo whorls that stand in groups of three to five at the end of the branches and consist of a large number of flowers . The lower bracts are 25 to 45 mm long and 25 to 35 mm wide, broadly ovate-heart-shaped, tapering to a point and roughly prickly serrated at the base, slightly serrated or indented at the tip.

The calyx is 12 to 15 mm long, the crown is yellow in color and 14 to 17 mm long.

Occurrence and locations

The species occurs in southwest Spain near Cádiz and in northern Morocco and grows there on dry grassland.

Systematics

The first description of the species by Philipp Salzmann was published in 1834 by the British botanist George Bentham in the work Labiatarum genera et species . In addition to the nominate form, a subspecies was also described in 1998:

  • Sideritis grandiflora subsp. baetica (Lange) Roselló, Peris, Á.Romo & Stübing

This subspecies was described in 1863 by the Danish botanist Johan Martin Christian Lange as a separate species Sideritis baetica .
