Thapsia gummifera (syn. Margotia gummifera) is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the western Mediterranean; Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.[1] It has been proposed as a candidate for the plant known in antiquity as silphium and gone extinct in Libya in the 5th century.[2]
