Bupleurum veronense Turra, syn.: Bupleurum baldense ssp. gussonei (Arcang.) Tutin, Bupleurum aristatum Bartl. ex Rchb., Bupleurum humile Vest ex Rchb., Odontea aristata Fourr., Odontites luteolus Spreng.EN: Small Hare's Ear, DE: Grannen Hasenohr, Verona-HasenohrSlo.: veronska prerast Dat.: June 23. 2010Lat.: 44.38232 Long.: 14.78891Code: Bot_431/2010_DSC3064Habitat: next to a dirt path, sparsely grassy, almost flat, calcareous, skeletal ground; open, sunny, dry place; elevation 11 m (35 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature about 16 deg C, Mediterranean phytogeographical region.Substratum: stony soil.Place: Adriatic Sea; Island Olib, half way from village Olib to 'Slatinica' beach, Kvarner bay, Rijeka region, Croatia EC.Comment: Bupleurum veronense is an Illyric East-Alpine species in spite of the fact that it touches the Alps only in Italy in Verona and Brescia provinces (Ref.:2). It is native only to countries around Adriatic Sea growing mostly in Mediterranean regions. One can find it in Albania (there are some doubts about this), Greece (Peloponnese and North and East Central Greece only), Italy (northeast part only), Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and in a single disjunct place far east on peninsula Crimea (Ref.:4). At the beginning of Mediterranean summers, when it becomes hot and most plants retract and dry up the time of the Bupleurum veronense is coming. Its small yellow stars with the little umbels of individual tiny flowers shine between the dried up grasses and herbs. The plant is not conspicuous since its few leaves are very thin and its flowers are really small. But when looked at from close they are amazing natural jewelry. Almost all species of the genus Bupleurum growing in Slovenia (ten taxa) have very unusually and interestingly shaped inflorescence. They are graphically very attractive and have somehow 'archaic' appearance. Ref.:(1) A.

Pedicularis rostratocapitata Crantz, syn.: Pedicularis rostato-capitata, Pedicularis jacquinii Koch.DE: Kopfiges Lusekraut, Jacquins LusekrautSlo.:glaviasti uivecDat.: Aug. 01. 2014Lat.: 46.43987 Long.: 13.64382Code: Bot_820/2014_DSCHabitat: alpine grassland, gently eastward sloping terrain, shallow calcareous skeletal ground with some silicate, relatively dry and warm place, full sun; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 1.960 m (6.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart's flats, east of the beginning of Mt. Mangart terminal road loop, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia ECComment: This beautifully colored member of genus Pedicularis is quite common on Mangart's flats. Otherwise it is limited to east half of the Alps but can be found on Balkan Peninsula and Carpathians too. There are six similar species of this genus growing in Slovenia having more or less reddish flowers. But Pedicularis rostratocapitata is easy to recognize among them. It has very characteristic calyx. Its calyx is (almost - compared to other Pedicularis species) glabrous and has typical 'decoration' at the end of calyx segments (see picture #4). Another easy to see feature of the flower is a long beak at the end of galea (the helmet shaped upper lip of corolla), which reflects also in its Latin species name: 'rostrum' means 'beak' and 'capitatus' means 'having a head'. But there are also other species of Pedicularis, which have similar beaks. So, this beak represents only a required but not a sufficient trait for determination.Ref.:(1) A.
