Hello Gordon,

All the sites I know from Spain (cited in Diels, 1906) are in the province
of Cadiz between Cadiz and Gibraltar:

Cadiz
Chiclana (de la Frontera)
Alcala de los Gazules
Jimena (de la Frontera)
Algeciras
N San Roque
Gibraltar

The site near Alcala has been confirmed (thousands of specimens) in
March 1996: El Picacho de Alcala de los Gazules NW Gibraltar above trail
approx. 2km from Alcala, ca. 750 m alt. on S slope.

Kind regards
Jan
