It has recently been noted that H. liguricus derives from
northern Italy, in a location near the coast of
Liguria and Toscany.
Contrasting the other Italian Helleborus-species, the leaves of
H. liguricus are not as heavily subdivided. The large flowers
are matt white and stand nicely over the foliage. The relatively
strong, sweet smell is characteristic for the flower
of this species.
The hardiness of the flowers of this acaulescent species is not
clear.
