More about this plant
Daphne cneorum, the rose daphne or garland flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, native across the mountains of central and southern Europe from the Pyrenees east through the Alps, the Apennine, Carpathian and the Balkan Peninsula mountains, and locally in lowlands further north and east to Ukraine and westernmost Russia. It is a prostrate spreading evergreen shrub growing to 50 cm (20 in) high, with downy stems bearing oblanceolate to spatulate, hairless, evergreen leaves 10–20 mm long and 3–5 mm wide, and highly fragrant pink flowers in dense clusters of 6–8 together in spring. All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans. Wikipedia →

How we know this (1) Methods & honest limits
A recorded categorical fact: each species is tagged C3 (standard), C4 (heat/water-efficient) or CAM (succulent, night-time CO₂ uptake) — or a facultative combination. We only show a trait card for the noteworthy C4/CAM cases; C3 is the unremarkable majority, kept in the data but not surfaced as a card.
