We found this plant while looking at the Flamingos on the coastal brine lakes at Cabo de Gata in a very dry part of Southern Spain where the climate is regarded as close to desert. It has distinctly Carrot-like leaves which are very hairy and is a small, almost procumbent plant preferring sandy coastal habitats. It was at one time thought to be a member of the Carrot genus with the name Daucus pumilus but there are many other synonyms as well.

Pseudorlaya pumila grows throughout the Mediterranean region.
