Linaria tristis
Linaria tristis, the melancholy toadflax, is a species of annual flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae, native to the western Mediterranean region and centered in the Iberian Peninsula. It inhabits open, dry environments on sandy or rocky substrates and is characteristic of disturbed ground in Mediterranean climates.
Within a regional Iberian context, Linaria tristis is distributed across central and southern Spain and parts of Portugal. Peripheral records from northwestern Africa have been reported, but these are sometimes regarded as marginal or uncertain in regional floras.
