location
West of village Rašica (Dolenjska, Slovenia)notes Slo.: močvirski ušivec - Habitat: marshy grassland, flat terrain, full sun, elevation 490 m (1.600 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.400 mm/year, average temperature 8 -10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Pedicularis palustris is a Euro-Siberian-North-American species. It can be easily recognized to species level by its branched habitus (the only one species in genus Pedicularis among 13 of them growing in Slovenia). Also their usual habitat, that is marshes, is typical. Since marshes are quickly disappearing from our environment, it is also an endangered species, which is protected in several European countries including Slovenia. In Europe it is nowhere a common plant, however spread in almost whole Alps excluding their most south-western part. It cannot be found in south European mountains: Pyrenees, Apennines and Dinaric mountains, but grows in east Balkan Peninsula, Carpathians, Jura and other northern European plains and mountains.
