Its native range is Greece[1] and is usually found in dry and subalpine (higher slopes) meadows, and stony slopes.[2] A previous name for Thamnosciadum was “Beta nana, Carum graecum, Origanum scabrum and Seseli stylare”,[3] which was discovered by Botanist Theodor von Heldrich in the nineteenth century. The genus is currently being used for testing in essential oils for fragrance levels research.[4]
