Lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Yugoslavian Red Butterhead')

The name “Yugoslavian Red Butterhead” gives us a strong clue. **Yugoslavia**, a country that existed in southeastern Europe until the early 1990s, is almost certainly the origin of this lettuce variety.

Specifically, it’s likely from the general region encompassing the former republics of Yugoslavia, which are now:

* Bosnia and Herzegovina
* Croatia
* North Macedonia
* Montenegro
* Serbia
* Slovenia

Without more specific information, it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact region within former Yugoslavia. However, knowing the name allows us to narrow the geographical origin of this lettuce variety to southeastern Europe.
