The speciesis endemic to western and southwestern Europe where it occurs from northern Portugal and Spain to central-eastern and southern France,westernSwitzerland, and northern Italy (USDA 2012, Castroviejo et al. 2010). It is extremely variable and has often been divided into a number of forms, varieties and subspecies, some of questionable taxonomic value (L. Sezpers. comm. 2014). It also grows in the French and Italian Alps, in the French and Swiss Jura, and in the Massive Central (France) (Pignatti 1982,Association Tela Botanica 2014, Info Flora 2014).
Records from peninsular Italy and Sicily (de Santayana et al. 2005) are considered erroneous (Pignatti 1982). The species has been introduced to Germany, where it has become established(Unpublished factsheet from MAPROW database: U. Schippmann, pers. com. 25.11.2013).

Justification
Global and European regional assessment: Least Concern (LC)
EU 27 regional assessment: Least Concern (LC)
The species is endemic tocentral and southwestern Europe, primarily in mountainous areas from northern Portugal through to western Switzerland and northern Italy.The species has been assessed as Vulnerable in Switzerland (due to restricted geographic range). Whilst it is known to be collected extensively from the wild in some parts of its range and is not known to be cultivated for commercial purposes, it has been cultivated in gardens.
Further information on the scale and sustainability of harvest from the wild is required, but at present it is considered Least Concern on the basis of its very wide geographical distribution and large number of records.
