This annual plant with a wide palaeo-subtropical distribution is known with certainty from Lazio, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily (erroneously reported from Abruzzo and Molise, of dubious occurrence in Calabria, and not observed since a long time in Campania). It grows in arid uncultivated sites, from sea level to about 600 m, with optimum in the Mediterranean belt. It is a characteristic species of the temporary ponds of Sardinia, often found in the central belt as a result of total desiccation. The genus name derives from the Greek 'helios' (sun) and 'trepo' (I turn) because the flowers follow the sun's movement; the species name refers to the stems, which are often prostrate. Flowering period: July to September. |
Italian name(s): Eliotropio peloso (Italia), Eliotropio supino (Italia), Erba de soli (Sardegna), Verrucaria minuri (Sicilia).
