This endemic species is found only in Sardinia, Corsica and the Balearic Islands. It grows in meadows and in rocky areas, usually on soils which are moist at least in spring, from sea level to the upper montane belt. In the temporary ponds the species forms small mosaics with the Mediterranean vegetation, on granitic substrates with sandy, shallow soils. Both the genus and the species names refer to its similarity to species of the genus Bellis. Flowering period: April to August.

Italian name(s): Belliduccia (Puglia, Lecce), Bellium bellidioide (Italia), Pratolina spatolata (Italia).
