  • notes   Slo.: ? CR: zelenkasti ravan - syn.: Chrysanthemum coronarium (L.), Leucanthemum coronarium, Xanthophthalmum coronarium (L.) Sell & Murell - Habitat: dirt road side outside of abandoned fields and village gardens, semiruderal, calcareous, skeletal ground; sunny, open place; flat terrain; elevation 22 m (70 feet); average precipitations 900-1000 mm/year, average temperature 13-15 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: red Mediterranean soil (Terra Rossa). - Comment: Glebionis coronaria is a Circum-Mediterranean plant, but it grows also in Asia and it is introduced species in America. In several Mediterranean countries it is one of the most-loved of the common wildflowers. However, it is much rarer in north Adriatic Sea. It does not appear in the Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region of Slovenia along the Adriatic Sea coast. It is also absent from the Istria peninsula in Croatia (Ref. 4) but it is present on islands of Kvarner and Zadar archipelago. Although, records of this species from the islands Silba, Ist and Vir, which surround the island Olib, are known the Glebionis coronaria is not mentioned in the checklist of island Olib (Ref: 2, 4 and 5). Glebionis coronaria is an annual plant, which is not common in its’ genus. One can find it in two 'flavors': with totally yellow florets and with such, which are half yellow (inner part) and half white (toward the end). The plant has a long history within traditional Chinese medicine for treating fever, hypertension, headaches and inflammatory conditions. It is widely cultivated and also edible. - Ref.: (1) M.
