location
North side of Vršič pass; above the road in between last two, uppermost switchbacks, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: kimastoplodni šipek, alpski šipek - syn.: Rosa alpina L. - Habitat: Moderately steep mountain slope, north aspect; light wood, Larix decidua, Pinus mugo, Fagus sylvatica dominant trees; among bushes; calcareous, stony ground; in half shade; elevation 1.555 m (5.100 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 2-4 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Rosa pendulina is a widespread species of the genus in western Slovenia. However, it is not really a common plant. To encounter a bush in full bloom is always a delight. Its habitus is medium sized, rarely taller than 1.5 m. One can recognize it by its large and deep colored purple-red flowers with little white in the center, oddly pinnate leaves with 7 to 9 leaflets, which are usually almost glabrous and long, hastate sepals, which remain dry on the fruit. The shape of the fruit is also characteristic. Hips are flask-shaped and hanging. Young sprouts and branches are without prickles. The prickles on the stem and older branches are thin and straight, sometimes dense and sometimes scarce. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
