White butterbur is a native of the mountains of Europe and S.W. Asia. It was introduced to Britain as a garden ornamental in 1683, and naturalised in West Yorkshire by at least 1843. Plants are dioecious, consisting of separate male and female plants which are not self-fertile. In Britain, plants flower as early as February and are visited by various insects. If pollinated, female plants bear dandelion-like cylindrical seeds with a tuft of long white hairs. As the vast majority of naturalised populations consist entirely of male plants the extent of sexual reproduction is unclear and spread occurs largely by dispersal of the rhizomes.
