Gentianella anisodonta (Borbas) Lve & Lve ssp. calycina (Koch) Lve & Lve, syn.: Gentiana obtusifolia Willd. var. calycina Koch, Gentiana anisodonta Borbas ssp. calycina (Koch) HayekDolomitian Gentian, DE.: Kelh-KranzenzianSlo.: aasti svievecDat.: Aug. 1. 2015Lat.: 46.44194 Long.: 13.63686Code: Bot_906/2015_DSC8234Picture file names: from Gentianella-anisodonta-ssp-calycina_raw_30 to Gentianella-anisodonta-ssp-calycina_raw_35.Habitat: Steep grassland, southeast aspect; skeletal, calcareous ground; open place, full sun, exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature about 0 deg C, elevation 2.030 m (6.700 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart region, grass covered southeast slopes of the ridge between ez jezik pass, 2.055 m and Sedelce pass, 2.031 m, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Gentianella anisodonta ssp. calycina is a beautiful plant, which blooms late and is therefore one of last autumn joys of mountain flowers lovers. It is a plant with not yet agreed upon taxonomy. No wonder! Most species of this genus are very variable. Plants which bloom first in late spring, those, which bloom in summer and those, which bloom even later, may differ drastically in their habitus. All kinds of intermediates can be found. Some authors simply recognize only the name Gentianella anisodonta (Ref.: 3. for example), others distinguish three different taxa within this species name, either on subspecies, varieties or forms level. Nevertheless, Gentianella anisodonta ssp. calycina is considered a high mountains taxon, which doesn't change much regarding different blooming time. Shape, size, sameness and type of the edge of calyx lobes are particularly important in determination. Gentianella anisodonta ssp. calycina has papillate edges of calyx lobes (papillae can be seen on Fig.34). The papillae are about twice as long as thick. Very, very similarly looking but much rarer Gentianella pilosa differs just in a small detail. Its mid rib of calyx lobes is minutely papillate too, contrary to Gentianella anisodonta ssp. calycina. The difference can be seen only using a good hand lens. Regardless to this, both plants are very beautiful and there is fortunately only one 'kind' of beauty!Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soa very close to the river bed, between villages Soa and Trenta, Bovec basin, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Gentianella pilosa is a quite rare, sub-endemic plant of Slovenia. It grows only in Slovenian, south most Austrian and west most Italian Alps. Good decade ago Ref.: 5 knew only a single place in the state where it grew. However in the last decade several other locations have been found. Apart of the southeast Alps, the plant can be found in Dinaric Mountains. Gentianella pilosa can be distinguished from several other species of this quite messy and difficult for determination genus by its long and narrow calyx lobes (1.5 - 3 x longer than calyx tube!), acute sinus (the cleft between two neighboring lobes is tapering with more or less straight sides, not rounded) and distinctly papillate (having nipple-like projections) edges as well as (a decisive trait!) middle rib of the calyx lobes. The plants photographed in this observation are unusually small, not taller than 5 cm, while their normal height would be from 10 to 35 cm (Ref.:2). Apparently they accommodated to local conditions. The place is grazed by sheep, which keeps all vegetation low. On Fig.26 (bottom, mid-left) one can see a plant which was obviously grazed off with only two flowering stalks left.Plants were growing scattered; several tens of them were in (late) bloom.Ref.:(1) J.

However in the last decade several other locations have been found. Apart of the southeast Alps, the plant can be found in Dinaric Mountains. Gentianella pilosa can be distinguished from several other species of this quite messy and difficult for determination genus by its long and narrow calyx lobes (1.5 - 3 x longer than calyx tube!), acute sinus (the cleft between two neighboring lobes is tapering with more or less straight sides, not rounded) and distinctly papillate (having nipple-like projections) edges as well as (a decisive trait!) middle rib of the calyx lobes. The plants photographed in this observation are unusually small, not taller than 5 cm, while their normal height would be from 10 to 35 cm (Ref.:2). Apparently they accommodated to local conditions. The place is grazed by sheep, which keeps all vegetation low. On Fig.26 (bottom, mid-left) one can see a plant which was obviously grazed off with only two flowering stalks left.Plants were growing scattered; several tens of them were in (late) bloom.Ref.:(1) J.

Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soa very close to the river bed, between villages Soa and Trenta, Bovec basin, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Gentianella pilosa is a quite rare, sub-endemic plant of Slovenia. It grows only in Slovenian, south most Austrian and west most Italian Alps. Good decade ago Ref.: 5 knew only a single place in the state where it grew.
