Objective:
Anthyllis barba-jovis is a rare evergreen shrub belonging to the family of Fabaceae and could be found in different habitats, especially along steep rocky cliffs. It is an endemic species originating from the west-central regions of the Mediterranean basin. It’s located in France, Italy, Croatia, Algeria, and Tunisia and grows on low altitudes of the Mediterranean littoral rocks. The main objective of this work is to control the seed propagation techniques of Anthyllis barba-Jovis L.
Context:
The Anthyllis barba-jovis is resistant to salty sea spray and has a good capacity to resist drought. It is used as an ornamental plant with its long-lasting and delicate flowering. Anthyllis barba-jovis is a compact shrub that measures 0.30 to 1.50 m in the wild but can grow more when cultivated. This work is a part of the project ECOPLANTMED (www.ecoplantmed.eu).
