Cyclamen creticum (Doerfl.) Hildebr.Cretan Sowbread, DE: Kretische AlpenveilchenSlo.: kretika ciklamaDat.: April 26. 2016Lat.: 35.36129 Long.: 23.90723Code: Bot_951/2016_DSC1694Habitat: light mountain cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens) wood, moderately steep mountain slope; north aspect, among grasses; rocky, skeletal ground; in shade; elevation 1.030 m (3.400 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C (estimated ?), Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: At the foot of White Mountains, north of Omalos plateau, next to the road from Omalos to north shore of the island, somewhat lower after the highest point of the road; West Crete, Mediterranean Sea, Greece EU. Comment: Cyclamen creticum is an endemic plant flowering in spring and found only on islands Crete and Cyprus. All species of this genus are very beautiful. There are more than ten different species known in the Mediterranean region. Several are limited to more or less restricted regions. So we know Cretan, Balearic, Persian, Libyan, Cypriot, African and Greek sowbread. Some bloom in spring, some in autumn.Cyclamen creticum is among the most tender one since it is uniformly snow white (or rarely barely noticeable pale pink-violet), rather small and of minimalistic, simple shape. It has no differently shaped and colorful blotches at the base of the corolla lobes as many others have. There were hundreds of them growing at the spot where I stopped and found them.Ref.:(1) I.

Cyclamen repandum S. S.Spring Sowbread, CR: primorska ciklama, DE: Geschweiftblttriges AlpenveilchenSlo.: primorska ciklamaComments: The most frequent flower of north Adriatic islands in April (at least of those, which have some forests) is Cyclamen repandum. It appears massively on some places, where the ground of light forests is literally covered by them. But the plant doesn't grow exclusively in forests but also on woodland borders as well as on road sides and other sometimes very stony and open places. In Slovenia one cannot find it. It is replaced by actually quite similar Cyclamen europaeum, (syn.: Cyclamen purpurascens) which contrary to Cyclamen repandum blooms in late summer and early autumn. Both have quite different shape of their leaves, so distinguishing is not a problem. Cyclamen europaeum is also a wide spread and common forest flower, but it never develops so dense and extensive stands as Cyclamen repandum. However, it has very nice smells while her Mediterranean sister is far behind it in this gift. Dat.: April 26. 2015Lat.: 45.06769 Long.: 14.44984Code: Bot_869/2015_DSC6053Habitat: Stony and sandy road side, semiruderal place; flat, calcareous ground; almost full sun, dry place; elevation 70 m (230 feet), average precipitations ~ 1.100 mm/year, average temperature 13 -15 deg C, submediterranean phytogeographical region.Place: Road side of the road leading from village Milohni to ferry harbor in Vela Jana bay, island Krk, Kvarner bay, Croatia EC.Ref.:(1) R.

2011-10-26 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen - mixed forest (680 msm Quadrant 8362/4).This beech forest has been re-shaped by mankind; left of the road and in the background spruce monoculture dominates, and spruce also is spreading into the beech forest (most certainly supported by forestry). Cyclamen purpurascens is a natural element of this place, it is indicating limestone underground here - it does not grow in the background of the photo (not visible here, obviously) where silicate (and acidic) soil dominates.
