Lythrum salicaria L.Purple Loosestrife, DE: Gewnlicher Blutweiderich, Blut-WeiderichSlo.: navadna krvenkaDat.: July 26. 2010Lat.: 45.72730 Long.: 14.40786Code: Bot_436/2010_IMG1453Habitat: intermittent lake shore, marshland, frequently flooded terrain; calcareous, open ground; Karst region; full sun; elevation 550 m (1.800 feet); average precipitations 1.600-1.800 mm/year, average temperature 8-9 deg C, Dinaric phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil. Place: Southeast Cerknica intermittent lake; near the bridge between villages Gorenje jezero and Laze pri Gorenjem jezeru, Notranjska, Slovenia EC. Comment: Lythrum salicaria is Eurasian floral element and quite a common plant. It is widely distributed and extends from Great Britain to central Russia from near the 65th parallel to North Africa. It is also introduced to all other continents and is considered in USA a nonindigenous plant with large impact on native vegetation. One can find it from lowland to montane elevations in all regions of the Alps and other European mountains as well as on plains. It loves moisture and hence grows on wetland and along rivers and streams, ditches, lake shores and similar places. The plant is conspicuous, it can be well above 1 m tall, and has beautiful, intensely rose-purple colored inflorescences composed of many showy corollas up to 2 cm in diameter. No wonder, it is also used in horticulture and also as a medical plant. Its great ability to attract bees makes it important in production of honey. Growing in large groups. Thousands of plants bloom around Cerknica lake every year. In average each one produces over 2,000.000 seeds annually (Ref.: 3).Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

2010.07.11 N, Heidenreichstein (598 m AMSL).A series of shots which shows the slow progression from raised bog to reed zone to the pond: this one shows the transition to reed, with reed and Lythrum (the red dots) in the background, near the water line, and some Pinus trees plus even a few Eriophorum specimens in the foreground - which means that there also some Sphagnum species and 'firmer' grounds must exist.German names: Rot-Fhre, Schmallblatt-Wollgras, Gewhnlich-Blutweiderich
