Logfia gallica Coss. & Germ. |
Logfia gallica is a species of plant. Its common names are narrowleaf cottonrose and daggerleaf. The species has relatively long and stiff awl-shaped leaves.
It is native to Mediterranean Eurasia and Africa. It is widely naturalised in western North America from southwestern Oregon to northwestern Baja California, including the California Channel Islands. The first known American collection was from Newcastle, California which was around 1883. It had subsequently been collected throughout central California by 1935, and had spread to most of its present North American range by 1970. Elsewhere, it is also naturalised in South America, Hawaii and Australia.
