Danin, A.: A new species of Bufonia (Caryophyllaceae) from Israel: B. ramonensis. — Willdenowia 31: 95–100. 2001. — ISSN 0511-9618.
Bufonia ramonensis is a small chamaephyte with lignified branches, described from one mountain slope at the Negev Highlands, where it is confined to crevices and soil pockets of smooth- faced limestone. The new species is closely related to B. multiceps, which is a hemicryptophyte with herbaceous stems endemic to similar microhabitats in magmatic rocks of southern Sinai.
