Its native range is eastern Mediterranean (within Crete, Cyprus, East Aegean Islands, Greece and Yugoslavia) to Central Asia (within Albania, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria and Turkey) and Uzbekistan.[1]
The genus name of Scaligeria is in honour of Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484–1558), an Italian scholar and physician, who spent a major part of his career in France.[2] It was first described and published in Coll. Mém. Vol.5 on page 70 in 1829.[1]
