Mediterranean coast where brush and forest fires

are more frequent. They are commonly scattered on sunny

hills or on slopes that lead down to the seashore.

Snapdragons are mostly short-lived perennial

plants, though some species are annuals. The

simple leaves are usually lance-shaped. The

flowers are tubular, bilaterally symmetrical,

and usually large with a closed liplike moth that excludes most insects but can be forced open by strong bees, the main pollinators.
