Helleborus multifidus occurs in Croatia and has generally a more southerly
and westerly range than that of H. 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, very warm
conditions on rocky, somewhat thin, soils. There are other interesting plants in
the area as well.
