Pimpinella cypria, common name Cyprus burnet-saxifrage and locally Kıbrıs Pimpinela, is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the family Apiaceae. This rare endemic species is characterized by its white umbellate flowers and distinctive compound leaves with broad leaflets. It grows in the limestone crevices of the Kyrenia Range in northern Cyprus, where it has adapted to the Mediterranean climate with specialized features to withstand seasonal drought and rocky terrain.
Pimpinella cypria grows in limestone fissures in many north-facing shady spots. As an endemic of northern Cyprus, P. cypria is confined to rocky, north-facing slopes of the Kyrenia Range from Kornos to Yaila and near Eptakomi. It is particularly common around Saint Hilarion Castle at elevations of 750–820 m (2,460–2,690 ft)—where it favours sunny yet sheltered limestone ledges.
