  • notes   Slo.: dvolistni vimenjak - syn.: Orchis bifolia L. - Habitat: grassland, pasture, locally flat terrain; alluvial, skeletal, calcareous ground; shallow soil layer, sunny, open place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 980 m (3.200 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region.

According to Pravilnik o uvrstitvi ogroženih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst v rdeči seznam, Uradni list RS, št. 82/2002 (Regulation of enlisting of endangered plant and animal species onto Red List, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 82/2002) (2002) enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by 'V' representing a vulnerable species.
