location
Zadnjica valley west of Mt. Triglav, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: brinolistni lisičjak - Family: Lycopodiaceae (Clubmoss Family) - Habitat: Fagus sylvatica woods with scattered Picea abies; almost flat terrain; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground; in shade, rather cool and humid place; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 3-5 deg C, elevation 950 m (3.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Lycopodium annotinum is a broadly distributed, circumpolar plant, however, protected in Slovenia. It is a species loving cold climate. It can be found also north of tree line in arctic America. In spite of its English name it is not a moss but a fern. Its long, stalk less spore bearing parts are like elongated cones. Spore clusters are situated in axils of yellowish to greenish (when fresh), slender-pointed bracts, tightly clustered in cone. The cones on these pictures have already discharged their spore clusters. Only widely open, dry, brownish bracts are visible. 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).
