Doronicum glaciale (Wulf.) NymanLeopard's Bane, DE: Gletscher-GemswurzSlo.: ledeniki divjakovecDat.: July 17.2014Lat.: 46.43937 Long.: 13.64560Code: Bot_813/2014_DSC1833Habitat: sparsely overgrown scree slope at the foot of mountain face, west aspect, calcareous ground with some acid rocks, sunny place, average precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature about 0 deg C, elevation 2.020 m (6.600 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among scree and stones.Place: Mt. Mangart region, Mangart' plateau, scree slopes below west face of Mt. Mangart, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Doronicum glaciale is a beautiful, conspicuous high mountain plant, which often grows in large stands with many flowering stalks. Its golden heads may have up to 5 cm in diameter. The plant is hairy. The hairs are of different types and lengths and based on them some botanists distinguish subspecies taxa. Others claim that the hairiness of Doronicum glaciale is simply very variable and as such not sufficient to ground them. Doronicum glaciale can easily be confused with similar Doronicum grandiflorum, which is somewhat taller and grows in similar habitats. Shape and size of ground leaves is a good distinguishing feature. Leaves of Doronicum glaciale are narrower (from 1 to 2.5 cm) and transition from the leave bottom to the stalk is gradual. Leaves of Doronicum glaciale are broader (from 3 to 7 cm) and the leaf bottom is rounded or cordate (heart-shaped, with the notch at the base). Doronicum glaciale is endemic to southeast Alps and can be found only in Austria, Italy and Slovenia.Ref.:(1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M. Moser, J.P.

Erigeron arenarioides (Eaton ex Gray) Rybg. A northern Utah endemic plant species. Occurs mainly in the Wasatch range from between Ogden and Provo (Weber, Salt Lake, Utah cos.) but also known from nearby Stansbury Island (Tooele Co.) and in the Newfoundland Mtns. (Box Elder Co.). Commonly found in its range in crevices of quartzite and limestone outcrops at mainly foothill to subalpine elevations.May 5, 2011, lower Mt. Olympus trail area, Wasatch range, Salt Lake County, Utah, here growing in quartzite, elev approx 4,925 ft. The lowest elevation on the east benches of Salt Lake County where I have seen this species is at about 4,780 ft. (but it no doubt occurred lower than that historically; the natural space where it probably occurred is now simply gone).To see plants in flower, see:

Laderas de la plana de Zaragoza. Distribucin: La subsp. sicoricus vive nicamente en el E de Espaa, pero la especie parece habitar tambin en el N de frica. En Aragn aparece por una parte en la Depresin del Ebro, con dos subreas, una al W, en el lmite con Navarra (las Bardenas) y otra desde Zaragoza capital hacia el E. Tambin aparece, ms dispersa, por el Sistema Ibrico, en depresiones margoso-yesferas, desde Las Cuerlas (Zaragoza), por Monreal del Campo y Cella hasta Valacloche (Teruel). Biologa y fenologa Hbitat: Sobre suelos yesosos o arcillosos con muy poca cobertura vegetal, generalmente en el fondo de barrancadas y crcavas erosionadas o en depresiones endorreicas con suelo salino y hmedo.Preferencia edfica: Basfila Gipscola Terrenos yesferos.Rango altitudinal:350- 1000 ( 1200 ) mFenologa:Floracin Abril - JulioForma Biolgica: Hemicriptfito escaposoExtractado del Atlas de la Flora de Aragn (Herbario de Jaca)

Crepis aurea (L.) Cass.Golden Hawk's-beard, DE: Gold-Pippau, RinderblumeSlo.: zlati dimekDat.: June 30. 2009Lat.: 46.40986 Long.: 13.43712Code: Bot_359/2009_DSC0943Habitat: mountain grassland, pasture; slightly inclined mountain slope, locally almost flat terrain; south aspect; calcareous, nutrients rich ground; dry, sunny, open place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-4 deg C, elevation 1.510 m (4.950 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: 'Pecol' Plateau, north of the parking place at the end of the access road to the plateau, south of Mt. Monta (Mt. Montassio), 2.753 m (9.033 feet) mountain group, West Julian Alps, Friuli, Italy EC. Comment: Crepis aurea, sometimes climbing well above 2.000 m elevation, is a wonderful and dominant player in the colorful orchestra of flowers growing on mountain pastures. Its dominant colors of fire and gold are unique among species of genus Crepis. The heads can have up to 3.5 cm in diameter. There is only one similarly looking and colored plant growing in mountain grassland and that is Hieracium aurantiacum = Pilosella aurantiaca. But it can be easily distinguished from Crepis aurea since it has a few heads of orange flowers grouped on top of each stalk, while Crepis aurea carries only a single one on each stalk. Otherwise, numerous species of genus Crepis (about 30 growing in Slovenia) are mostly yellow and not always easy to be distinguished. In addition, numerous similarly looking species of genera Hieracium, (hawkweeds) Taraxacum (dandelions), Leontodon (hawkbits) and others often make proper determination of these plants of the family Asteracaea (daisy family) quite a challenge.Growing scattered among other plants of picturesque mountain grassland; hundreds of plants present on botanically extraordinary rich plateau of Pecol.Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W.
