This introduced plant from the Eastern Mediterranean is, according to Stace, a weed which escapes from gardens or nurseries. This is quite peculiar as the plant is easily missed with tiny yellow flowers reminiscent of Chrysosplenium oppositifolium (Opposite-leaved Golden-saxifrage) in colour, size and insignificance. So why would anyone want to buy it from a nursery and plant it in their garden? Possibly because it grows happily in the shade which is where we found it.
