2012-05-11 Burgenland, district Neusiedl/See, meadow near Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen (outside National Park)German name: Mittel-LeinblattGenus Thesium consists of a very few semi-parasitic species, of which none is too common and most are very rare. This one here, Th. linophyllum, is common enough only in Eastern, Pannonian Austria but rare elsewhere.Even so it does appear rarer than it seems to be because most of its habitats (dry, nutrient-poor meadows) have been destroyed in the last two or three decades, and in its habitats their tiny flowers, pretty only when you look at them from close, are overlooked by most, as their habitats are home to several more spectacular orchid and iris species. They're spectacular enough for my money, those Thesium flowers which don't even have a 'proper' common name.

Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa between the road an river, downstream of Otokar farm house, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Genus Thesium is large and spread on all continents except North America and Australia. The richest with species is South Africa. In Slovenia seven species can be found. Thesium bavarum is the tallest among them. It parasitize on roots of surrounding plants. In spite of its size it is probably frequently overlooked since it usually grows among other tall herbs and has very small, only a few mm large, flowers. Not really a photogenic plant and quite difficult for photography. This is partly due to its slender stalks, which swing here and there already in the slightest breeze and also due to the fact that all plant's details are miniature. The plant is endangered and protected in several countries (for. example in parts of Germany and in Hungary).Ref.:(1) Identification confirmed by dr.
