Saxifraga hostii ssp. hostii TauschHost's Saxifrage, DE: Hosts SteinbrechFamily: SaxifragaceaeSlo.: Hostov kre, Hostov kamnokreDat.: July 4. 2016Lat.: 46.21123 Long.: 13.55172Code: Bot_983/2016_IMG0705Picture file names: from Saxifraga-hostii_raw_20 to Saxifraga-hostii_raw_28.Habitat: stony roadside of a dirt road; calcareous, skeletal, stony ground, sunny and dry place, moderately inclined mountain slope, south aspect; exposed to direct rain; elevation 1.300 m (4.260 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-5 deg C, pre-alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among rocks and in rock crevices.Place: Next to the dirt road from village Livek to Mt. Matajur, near Planina Matajur, East Julian Pre-Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Saxifraga hostii ssp. hostii is an endemic member of large genus Saxifraga containing numerous marvelous, mostly alpine pants. It is actually not a true high mountains species, since it can be found fully developed and in full bloom in Trenta valley below 500 m elevation. But it also climbs to alpine elevations well above 2.000 m. Habitus, leaves and inflorescence are much similar better known Saxifraga crustata, but it is larger in all its parts. The tallest plants can be more than 50 cm high and hence belong to the tallest members of this genus in the Alps. It can be found in northeast Italy, Slovenia and south Austria. Actually it is a sub-endemic plant because one can find it also in some places of Dinaric Mountains (Ref.1.). Slightly different subspecies Saxifraga hostii ssp. rhaetica grows in a limited region of south Alps in Italy.Flowers of Saxifraga hostii ssp. hostii are generally white, however sometimes the petals are decorated with beautiful, tiny red dots as shown in my picture. Such dots appear also on other species of this genus. Saxifraga hostii ssp hostii is a perennial plant. During the winter, if not covered by snow, its leaves get beautifully colored. Ref.:(1) D.

Hylocomium splendens is the most prominent one here
(see also here).Chrysosplenium alternifolium is very easy to identify in spring, when it is flowering
(see e. g. here); but even in winter its leaves are unmistakably unique.

Saxifraga burseriana L.Burser Saxifrage, DE: Bursers SteinbrechSlo.: Burserjev kamnokreDat.: May 11. 2015Lat.: 46.43612 Long.: 13.63877Code: Bot_874/2015_DSC6352Habitat: Cracks in calcareous rocks, mainly on south oriented mostly steep or vertical boulder faces; full sun, not too dry places; exposed to direct rain, elevation 1.860 m (6.100 feet), average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 1 - 2 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices. Place: Mt. Mangart region, Mangart flats, alpine road side from the last tunnel to parking place below final road loop, on several places, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Saxifraga burseriana is an early flowering East Alpine endemic plant. It has the largest flowers of all members of genus Saxifraga and no doubt belongs to the nicest alpine flowers. At lower elevations of its distribution often the peak blooming is already over end of May. Mt. Mangart alpine tool road is still closed at that time. It is still under snow on several switchbacks, ravine crossings and bends. So, one has to walk. How long depends on the season. This year (very little snow) about an hour sufficed to reach richly blooming plants in abundance. Growing in many cushions scattered on rocks and boulders.

Saxifraga exarata Vill. ssp. carniolica (Huter) Wraber, syn.: Saxifraga moschata Wulfen var. carniolica Huter, Saxifraga moschata Wulfen ssp. carniolica (Huter) Wraber, Saxifraga moschata, Saxifraga exarata ssp. moschataCarniolian Saxifrage, DE: Krainer SteinbrechSlo.: kranjski kamnokreDat.: July 22. 2008Lat.: 46.44644 Long.: 13.64972Code: Bot_286/2008_DSC1952Habitat: Alpine grassland, just behind a ridge, north aspect, open, mostly sunny place, calcareous ground with some acid rocks, elevation 2.150 m (7.050 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature -1 to +1 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart region, extreme northeast part of Mt. Mangart's plateau, on the small mountain pass at the beginning of 'Slovenian' trail to the top of Mt. Mangart, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Saxifraga exarata ssp. carniolica is a narrow endemic plant known only from six UTM squares (Universal Transverse Mercator grid 10 x 10 km) in Slovenian Alps and two squares from northeast Italy in West Julian Alps some 10 km west of Slovenian border. Its subspecies name is derived from 'Carniola', which is a historical name of (roughly) northwest region of present Slovenia. Since it can hardly be found below 2.000 m elevation the whole area where it can be seen is very limited. It can be recognized by glandulous hairiness and three-lobed small ground leaves. Similar Saxifraga exarata ssp. atropurpurea (Sternb.) Wraber is even rarer and grows entirely in Slovenian Alps on an even smaller area in Mt. Krn mountain group. Most of its ground leaves are entire and its flowers are beautifully reddish colored. Both are true high-mountain rarity. Ref.:(1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M. Moser, J.P.

Saxifraga androsacea L.,Scree Saxifrage, DE: Mansschild-SteinbrechSlo.: oklepasti kamnokreDat.: June 20. 2012Lat.: 46.44166 Long.: 13.64433Code: Bot_632/2012_DSC4215Habitat: alpine grassland, close to a snow valley, almost flat terrain, full sun; calcareous, partly acid ground, average precipitation ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg/C, elevation 1.970 m (6.450 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart's plateau, at the foot of Mt. Mangart's west face, close to the bottom of the middle snow valley, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Saxifraga androsacea is a tiny plant, actually not easy to spot. In addition it is not common although broadly distributed all over the Alps and many other European high mountains. Hence it is not frequently encountered. It is present also in Altai and as far as in arctic regions of east Siberia. Ref.:(1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M. Moser, J.P. Theurillat, Flora Alpina, Vol. 1., Haupt (2004), p 714.(2) T.
