Greater periwinkle
Grande pervenche
Native to western Mediterranean
The genus name probably derives from the Latin word vincire, meaning bind, as the long
creeping vines were used to prepare garlands.
V. major is distinguished from V. minor by its calyx, long,
hairy sepals as well as the edge of its rigid and hairy leaves
