Among the commonest plant species of Alonnisos Island, Asphodelus ramosus, the multi-branched (ramosus) asphodel, is a plant quite familiar to many people, being very common and with quite impressive look, bearing large white flowers on its tall upright shoot. It can be distinguished from its close A. fistulosus by the broad basal leaves (narrow and hollow in A. fistulosus).

It is a typical species of Mediterranean phrygana and dry meadows, while the extensive asphodel meadows are a frequent sighting in the Greek countryside: these are usually areas under severe overgrazing, or recently burnt and grazed afterwards. Animals are careful not to consume the asphodels, which have a strong defenses against them, both with toxic substances and crystallic needles contained in its plant parts, and so the latter often find suitable ground for expansion.
