A native of Spain, Portugal, and Carniola, and an inhabitant of
woods and shady situations, flowers in March and April: in the
autumn it puts forth trailing shoots, which take root at the joints,
whereby the plant is most plentifully propagated; thrives best under
a wall in a North border.

[B] "Stolones repunt non caulis florifer, cui folia
ovalia, et minime cordata. TOURNEFORTIUS separavit a Symphito, et
dixit Omphallodem pumilam vernam, symphyti folio, sed bene monet
LINNÆUS solam fructus asperitatem aut glabritiem, non sufficere ad
novum genus construendum." Scopoli Fl. Carn. p. 124.
