    Asphodelus albus is an attractive mountain species of S Europe. In Greece it is confined to the NW mainland, growing in wet meadows and open deciduous woodland, generally at 1200–1800 m. The related A. ramosus (with branched inflorescence) is common throughout lowland Greece. Being poisonous and shunned by animals it is often abundant in overgrazed and degraded habitats.A
