Occurrence; Specimen

The surveys were carried out in Nahr el-Assi (Metn District) during 2014 and 2015 and in Wadi Jhannam (Minie-Danniye District) in spring to winter of 2018–2020. The valley of Nahr el-Assi in Baskinta is located 10 km eastward from the Sannine summit, the second-highest point in the Mount Lebanon range (2,628 m a.s.l.). The valley of Wadi Jhannam is located 13 km north of Qornet es-Sawda, the highest summit of the range (3,088 m a.s.l.).

The surveys in Nahr el-Assi (Metn District) during 2014 and 2015 were carried out for the project Determination of Important Areas for Plants and Creation of Three Plant Micro-Reserves to Conserve Rare or Endemic Species in Lebanon which was funded by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF; project 63257) and aimed at the creation of a Plant Micro-Reserve for the protection of Drosera rotundifolia L. Three plant species, Circaea lutetiana L. Euonymus latifolius (L.) Mill. and Daphne pontica L. were fortunately discovered during the fieldwork in 2014. The surveys of spring to winter of 2018–2019 in Wadi Jhannam (Minie-Danniye District) were carried out for the project Distribution and Red List Assessment of the restricted range endemic Jacobaea mouterdei (Asteraceae) which was funded by Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (project number 180519099). The surveys of 2020 were carried out for the project Determination of the Floral Diversity and Conservation Value of the Valleys of Hell with Focus on the Range-Restricted Endemic Jacobaeae mouterdei (Asteraceae) which was funded by the Rufford Foundation funded (project number 32258-1). Daphne pontica, Atropa belladonna L. and Euonymus latifolius were found there.
