Ficaria chrysocephala
Φικάρια η χρυσοκέφαλη
“Chryso” and “cephalos” in Greek means “golden headed”. This is the only Ficaria species that exists in Cyprus. It is found in several regions except for the ones of Morfou and Paralimni. It grows at an altitude of up to 1225 metres. It grows up to 25 cm only because it prefers to grow widely on the moist ground.
