This species is very rare and only found on high cliffs at Gibraltar. This plant is believed to be extinct outside of Gibraltar in the 1980's but in Gibraltar there are still some remaining specimens could be found. Unfortunately, in 1992, all traces of this plant has disappeared, and was finally declared extinct. In 1994 a single specimen was found by a climber on a cliff that can not be reached by him and have hope for the species back to life. Seeds were then spread on the Millennium seed bank and now this specimen growing in the Almeda Gibraltar Botanic Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens in London.
