L. punctata is close to L. trimestris. It is found from Syria and Palestine, through Asia Minor, Turkish Thrace, Greece, Albania, and Italy, to southern France, Corsica and the Balearic Islands. It is present in Crete and Sicily, but not in Sardinia. It is doubtfully native to Spain. It is also found in Tunisia. It is smaller than L. trimestris - to 1 m, and sometimes under a 30 cm in height. The stems are usually flushed with a purple-red colour, and are sparsely covered with stellate hairs. (Which distinguishes it from L. trimestris, which has green stems, and simple or few-rayed hairs.) The lower leaves are kidney shaped or semicircular, and shortly 5-lobed; its upper leaves are spear-shaped. The flowers are lilac-pink, occurring singly in the leaf axils.
