    It does seem to be an interesting plant, @WJR.  Part of Ireland's "lusitanian flora", found only on the Iberian peninsula and in SW Ireland, and not in England or France.  And nobody seems sure how that distribution came about...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Yes. I wonder where the term "Lusitanian Flora" comes from.
    Connected with the Lusitania which was sunk off SW Ireland?

    Just looked it up, @WJR.  Lusitania was an ancient Roman province, a region of the west Iberian peninsula, corresponding to most of Portugal and part of Spain...

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Lusitanian flora is a small assemblage of plants that show a restricted and specific distribution in that they are mostly only to be found in the Iberian Peninsula or southwest Ireland.
