    This rare species daffodil has been compared to Sternbergia (fall blooming bulb) because it has no apparent corona and it blooms in the autumn.
    Native to the southeastern Mediterranean area, which includes the Iberian peninsula, Algeria, and Morocco (Atlas Mountains).
    Leaves are absent when flowers bloom.
