Beta nana
Beta nana, the dwarf beet, is a species of flowering perennial plant in the family Amaranthaceae endemic to the mountains of central and southern Greece.
B. nana is endemic to the mountains of central and southern Greece. It mostly grows on the east and northeast slopes of mountains at elevations of 1700–2800 meters, where the climate is cool and moist. It grows on limestone soils in open areas dominated by short plants, in disturbed areas, and in rocky crevices.
B. nana is edible. Its resistance to cold has potential in efforts to improve the sugar beet.
