Prasium majus Prasium
This low growing shrub is found in many Mediterranean countries and on the rocky cliffs and land above the tide line on Gozo it was a common plant. The distinctive flowers which are reminiscent of Teucrium scorodonia (Wood Sage) were a defining character and can be white or pale lilac. The teeth of the calyx are mucronate (tipped with a spine) as can be seen in the large photograph.
