Campanulaceae
notes Slo.: trebušasta zvončica - Habitat: crevices in south oriented, vertical, manmade, stony road supporting wall; almost full sun, dry place; calcareous ground; elevation 1.965 m (6.450 feet), average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 2-4 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil in crevices of a stony road supporting wall. - Comments: Campanula cochleariifolia is one of the most beautiful bell flowers among almost thirty species from this genus growing in Slovenia. Usually one can find it in rock crevices in stony faces or larger boulders, many times on vertical or almost vertical surfaces, sometimes also on manmade stony walls. The flower grows in several mountains of Central and South Europe from about 600 m elevation upwards to almost the tops of the highest mountains in the Julian Alps (the highest find at 2.650 m). There are two other superficially similar species, which can be mistaken as Campanula cochleariifolia both growing at alpine elevations of Slovenian Alps: Campanula rotundifola (growing also in low land) and Campanula carnica. However, the first one has its buds turned upright and the second one has its fruits turned upright, while with Campanula cochleariifolia both are distinctly nodding. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W.
