Distribution

Logfia gallica is native to the Mediterranean region, in Eurasia, North Africa, and Western Asia.

It is widely introduced species, that has naturalized in western North America — from southwestern Oregon, throughout California including the Channel Islands, to northwestern Baja California, Mexico. The first known American collection was from Newcastle, California circa 1883. It had subsequently been collected throughout central California by 1935, and had spread to most of its present North American range by 1970.
