Place: West of Mt. Ogradi, 2.087 m (6.850 feet), next to the trail form Planina Laz to Lokovški preval pass, at the beginning of the steep, second half of the trail up to the pass, East part of the East Julian Alps, Gorenjska, Slovenia EC. - Comment: Nigritella rhellicani is the easiest for determination of all our six Nigritella species (2016, taxonomy changes turbulently and rapidly in this genus). Its flowers are much darker than of all the rest. Flowers are colored dark red-brown, sometimes almost black or muddy purple, while other taxa are of some shade of pink to red color. Inflorescence is also almost never distinctly cylindrical. The high mountain grassland around the top of Mt. Ogradi is full of these beautiful orchids nicely smelling on chocolate. Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004). 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).
