Phenology : flowering May – June

الانتشار الموثق

Native range : endemic to Lebanon and Syria (Mount Lebanon range, Anti-Lebanon, Jabal Hermon)

Remarks : the epithet tannourinensis refers to the Tannourine Cedar Reserve in North Lebanon. Mouterde did not recognise this variety and gives no separate diagnostic features; later Lebanese authors list it as an extremely local endemic without providing clear morphological distinctions

الارتفاع الموثق

الارتفاع

Elevation : recorded by Mouterde from ~1500 m to above 2700 m on Mount Lebanon, Anti-Lebanon and Hermon; populations around Tannourine fall within this range.
