A species with a very curious disjunct
distribution. Four populations are located in the insular mountains
of the Pannonian Basin, in Hungary and an isolated one in northern
Trascau Mountains, Romania (Cheile Turzii).
Another indication from Prodan (1939) is
very questionable - Boita in Chile Boitei, Hunedoara county,
Poiana Ruscai Mountains. Among the species of Ferula L.
which are usually very tall, this species is rather small. An
interesting recent populational study can be seen here.
Cheile Turzii, the southern most sunny ridge
of the right slope, on massive Jurassic limestones. Trascau
Mountains, Cluj county, June 2011.
