User:MashedLemons3/Daphne cneorum

Habitat
In the Boreal age, daphne cneorum was predominantly found in pine forests, alongside other species such as galium boreale and rubus saxatilis. In more recent ages, this species is native to the mountains of central and southern Europe, including an area known as the Châtillonnais region and several regions in Ukraine. Within these regions, daphne cneorum is commonly found in pine forest, oak-pine forest, and beech-pine forest habitats. Other species found in these habitats are vaccinium myrtillus, lycopodium annotinum, pteridium aquilinum, maianthemum bifolium, and trientalis europaea. Daphne cneorum is typically found in well-lit patches of rocky soil, the foundation of which is generally carbonate rock.

Diseases
In this disease the plants get dark colored lesions along the roots, soon followed by discoloration of leaves, stunted growth, fainting, and then in the two weeks after developing foliar symptoms, death.

One of the more common viruses affecting daphne cneorum, and other species of the genus daphne, is daphne virus X. It was discovered that in-vitro daphne cneorum cultures can be used as a growing medium to detect if other plants are infected with the disease. This allows for faster identification of diseased plants, thus allowing for prevention of the spread to other plants within nurseries, gardens, etc.
