Abstract

Linum corymbiferum, a species treated as historic casual in France, was rediscovered in the department Gard, on its previously documented location and several close places. This species, endemic to Algeria and Tunisia, was discovered in 1875 in Rodilhan (department Gard, France) by A. Barrandon, J. Duval-Jouve and Courcière. It was then recorded four times at the same location in the following years by different botanists who collected samples. Other herbarium specimens dated 1872, 1913 and 1927 were respectively collected in Hyères (Var department, France) and Béziers (department Hérault, France). Subsequently, the species had not been recorded in Europe until 2025.
