Helleborus multifidus
Helleborus multifidus occurs in Croatia and has generally a more southerly
and westerly range than that of Helleborus torquatus. Many populations in
Croatia have very confusing colonies, but the photos here represent what is
currently considered 'true' Helleborus multifidus. It grows in exposed
conditions on rocky, somewhat thin, soils.
- Perennial, glabrous or pubescent; 8-12" in flower
- Leaves pedate, serrate with 20-45 segments; not wintergreen
- Flowers green; 1.5-2" in diameter
- Croatia, Hercegovina, Albania?
- Woodland, scrub, open slopes and meadows to 1400'
