Daphne domini J.J. Halda (2001)

 

native to the Pirin Mts. of Bulgaria / up to 0,25 m high and about 0,3 m wide / growing on calcareous rocks, rocky slopes / evergreen / flowers do not open - cleistogamy / self-pollinating / always masses of orange fruits / hardy

 

Daphne domini is confused with Daphne kosaninii. The colour of the flowers in bud is very similar.

 

Two signs to distinguish both species: D. domini flowers never open (cleistogamous) and the leaves are green. Daphne kosaninii flowers always open and the leaves are blue-green.
