Bovec basin, below Ravni Laz place, next to the trail to Bovec, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)family
Violaceae
notes Slo.: pirenejska vijolica - Habitat: South inclined mountain slope, mixed predominantly hard wood forest, dominant Ostrya carpinifolia, Fraxinus ornus, Fagus sylvatica, Corylus avellana, Picea abies, among Primula vulgaris, Helleborus niger, Hepatica nobilis, etc. warm and dry place, partly in shade; in transitions zone between calcareous well consolidated conglomerate layers and flysh bedrock, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 525 m (1.770 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: brown sandy stony forest soil. - Comment: This violet was in 2001 considered as a very rare species and known only from one sub-square of MTB grid in the whole state (Ref.:(5)). Today we know well above hundred observations. Usually these plants grow in small scattered groups. In this observation they grow in an unusually large and dense group of several hundred plants with quite high ground coverage. The largest number of these plants I’ve ever seen. Endemic to southeast Alps. Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prosto živečih rastlinskih vrstah' Ur.l. RS, št. 46/2004. Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by 'R' representing a rare species. - Ref.: (1) K.Lauber and G.Wagner, Flora Helvetica, 5. Auflage, Haupt (2012), p 398.
