The only member of the monotypic genus Bellardia, it is known as trixago bartsia or Mediterranean lineseed.

Is it poisonous?
We have no record of Mediterranean lineseed being toxic, poisonous or venomous. That is not proof that it is safe. Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
