Mediterranean, Russia and Caucasus.  Recent opinion places this taxon as a simple synonym of X. strumarium, being part of a complex of hybrids between subspecies strumarium and italicum. The plant was originally named in Brazil, but it is not clear whether it was introduced into Europe and Asia or was simply  a hybrid whose characters coincided with those of the Brazilian plant
