Description

Aristolochia paucinervis is a perennial geophyte carnivorous plant. Its rhizome is formed by numerous cylindrical tubers. Leaves are ovate-triangular, sharp to marginalized with cartilaginous margins, with a glaucous underside and very marked nerves. Flowers are yellow on the outside and dark reddish or green on the inside.[2] It is similar to Aristolochia paucinervis, but can be easily distinguished by its thick, jagged leaf border.[3]
Distribution and habitat
Aristolochia pistolochia is distributed throughout southwestern Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula (in Portugal and Spain ), southern France , Corsica and Sardinia. It inhabits clearings of bushes, heaths or holm oaks groves, fallows and rocky areas in basal and montane floors.[2][4]
