location
Lazovški preval pass, below Mt. Debeli vrh, close to the trail from Planina Laz to Lazovški preval pass, East Julian Alps (Gorenjska, Slovenia)notes Slo.: rdeča murka - syn.: Gymnadenia miniata (Krantz) Hayek, Gymnadenia rubra Wettst., Nigritella rubra (Wettst.) Richt., Nigritella nigra ssp. rubra (Wettst.) Beauverd, Nigritella bicolor Foelsche - Habitat: alpine grassland, calcareous ground; open place, full sun, exposed to direct rain, elevation from 1.890 m (6.200 feet) to 1.950 m (6.400 feet), average precipitations about 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Lazovški preval pass and Ogradi Mountains are full of these beautiful, wild and nicely smelling high mountain orchids. Apart of numerous Nigritella miniata one can find also even more abundant Nigritella rhellicani and Nigritella widderi and may be some other Nigritella species too, which depends on how one treats taxonomy of these jewels. All of them a generally considered as rare plants. Taxonomy is still far from being settled and agreed upon among specialists. Variability of traits is large and small, often inconsistent morphological differences are decisive or are supposed to be decisive. Even genus Nigritella itself is questionable today based on interpretation of DNA evidence. 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).
