Bupleurum libanoticum (Arabic: دبيق لبناني; commonly known as the Lebanon hare's ear), is an annual herbaceous plant species in the family Apiaceae. It is native to the Eastern Mediterranean region, with a range extending through Lebanon, northwestern Syria, and southern Turkey (Anatolia). The species primarily populates high-altitude montane environments within subtropical or Mediterranean biomes.
The native distribution of Bupleurum libanoticum is restricted to the Levant and southern Anatolia. Its presence is natively documented across southern Turkey, coastal western Syria, the West Syrian Mountains, the Anti-Lebanon Mountains, Central Lebanon, and coastal western Lebanon. The species is specialized to high-altitude montane environments, growing predominantly within mountainous rocky terrains and limestone slopes. Populations have been recorded within several regional protected zones, notably the Jaj Cedars Nature Reserve and the Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve.
