Ranunculus chius DC, syn.: Ranunculus incrassatus Guss.Eastern Buttercup, DE: Chios HahnenfuSlo.: napihnjena zlaticaHabitat.Dat.: April 24. 2015Lat.: 45.06876 Long.: 14.44834Code: Bot_0867/2015_DSC5895Picture file names: from Ranunculus chius_raw_1 to Ranunculus chius_raw_5.Habitat: a small, newly established figs trees plantation; flat terrain, sunny and dry place; calcareous, skeletal ground, exposed to direct rain, elevation 80 m (260 feet), average precipitations 1.000-1.200 mm/year, average temperature 13 - 15 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region.Substratum: Karst soil.Place: Fields on the right side of the road from Milohni village to Vela Jana harbor, west Krk island, Kvarner bay, Adriatic Sea, Croatia EC.Comment: Ranunculus chius, named after Greek island Chios, is an inconspicuous, rather small, annual buttercup plant seldom encountered. This is probably due to its mall, inconspicuous flowers, its hiddenness among other greenery in grassland and also because it is nowhere a common plant. It is a species of a Mediterranean-eastern European distribution with a rather sparse and erratic distribution. It usually grows in wet meadows and in temporary pools, from sea level to lower montane elevations. Habitat of this find is in a sharp contradiction to this. The plant is toxic due to the content of anemonine.There are many buttercups described, but Ranunculus chius is relatively easy to recognize. Not by its flowers, which may have from 3 to 5 developed petals, but by its swollen fruiting pedicels thickened toward the apex (see Fig. 1b). Its achenes are also characteristic. They are dark brown when fully developed and are densely covered by short prickles. One can see these prickles starting to develop on Fig. 2b, which shows young, not yet ripe achenes.Ref.:(1) A.

Clematis flammula L.Fragrant Virgin's Bower, Fragnant Clematis, DE: Brennende Waldrebe, Mandel-WaldrebeSI: diei srobotDat.: June 20. 2010Lat.: 44.37116 Long.: 14.7791Code: Bot_431/2010_IMG0857Habitat: Semi ruderal ground near houses and gardens of a village; on stony walls; calcareous, skeletal ground; almost flat terrain; full sun, dry place; elevation 35 m (115 feet); average precipitations ~ 900 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: stony soil.Place: East part of village Olib; island Olib, Kvarner bay, Adriatic Sea, Croatia EC.Comment: Clematis flammula is one of my favorites among Mediterranean plants. It is a poisonous woody vine climbing sometimes up to a few meters high and to some extent visually similar to well-known and very common old man's beard (Clematis vitalba). But Clematis flammula flowers incomparably more abundantly. If it has no other plants or stony walls to climb on, it will climb on itself, forming a large 'bushes' fully covered by white flowers when in bloom. The plant is spreading around a wonderful, sweet smell on almonds, which gorgeously blends with, memorable by itself, 'Mediterranean' scent of sea-water, salt and other Mediterranean plants full of pungent aromatic oils. I have had a great luck to visit many other ocean and sea shores of four continents of this world, but, to my experience, nothing can compare to this experience of Mediterranean during late spring time, when everything it thriving vigorously, before dog days and flood of tourists makes the region much less attractive.Clematis flammula is rare in Slovenia. One can find it only in the warmest (during summer) valley of the country in Trako-Komenski Karst region near Brestovica village in southwest Slovenia. Another place where it grows is known on just the opposite side of the country in east Slovenia near town Ptuj (Ref. 5). On Adriatic Sea islands the plant is common. Ref.:(1) A.

Aconitum angustifolium Bernh. ex Rchb.Family: Ranunculaceae Juss.EN: Narrow lived aconite (?), DE: Schmalblttriger EisenhutSlo.: ozkolistna preobjeda Dat.: July 31. 2006Lat.: 46.20824 Long.: 13.54626 (WGS84)Code: Bot_0141/2006_DSC2565Picture file names: from Aconitum-angustifolium_raw_10 to Aconitum- angustifolium_raw_15.Habitat: grassland, pasture, next to and abandoned dirt road; moderately inclined mountain slope, southwest aspect; warm, sunny place; calcareous ground; elevation 1.400 m (4.600 feet); average precipitations ~ 2.800 mm/year, average temperature 4 - 6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: East of Mt. Matajur, 1.643 m (5.387 feet), next to the old forest road from village Livek, altitude 1.400 m (4.600 feet), Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Udine region, Italy EC. Comment: (relates to the album Aconitum angustifolium):Aconitum angustifolium is a beautiful, statuesque, up to 1.3 m tall plant, which is difficult to oversee. But it is quite scattered, not really common. It is a narrow endemic, which can be admired in free nature only in montane and subalpine elevations in some parts of the Julian Alps. Most records are from Slovenian part of them (mostly Soa valley and around locus classicus near Bohinj lake) and a few are known from Friuli region in northeast Italy. Aconitum angustifolium is one of the most poisonous plants known, full of powerful alkaloids and therefore very interesting for pharma industry. It is hexaploid. It is believed that its origin was a hybrid between more common tetraploid Aconitum tauricum and (most probably) diploid Aconitum paniculatum (Ref.:2).Ref.(1) A.
