  • notes   Slo.: spregledana močvirnica - syn.: Epipactis neglecta (Kümpel) Kümpel, Epipactis leptochila var. neglecta (Kümpel) Gévaudan, Epipactis viridiflava H. Low - Habitat: at the edge of predominantly Fagus sylvatica forest with some Picea abies and Ostrya carpinifolia; slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect; rather warm and dry place, mostly in shade; calcareous, skeletal, colluvial ground; elevation 590 m (1.930 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Epipactis leptochila subsp. neglecta is another quite rare species in Slovenia. The Epipactis leptochila helleborine can be recognized by overall greenish to yellowish appearance, sometimes with pinkish of violet tints, relatively long epichile, more or less one-sided inflorescence and evenly distributed steam leave (not concentrated near the ground). There are two subspecies described: Epipactis leptochila subsp. leptochila and Epipactis leptochila subsp. neglecta. The last one (on my pictures) has usually elongated hypochile, narrow transition between epi- and hypochile and its heart shaped epichile is strongly curving back (however, not yet on freshly opened flowers). The status of this taxon is not one of general agreement and can vary according to different botanists, from a variety to full species rank. For example, Ref.: 7. doesn't even mention both subspecies. To my knowledge this is the first documented find of this taxon in the Upper Soča region and MTB quadrant 9648/1. - 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). - Ref.: (1) Personal communication Mr. Branko Dolinar, www.orhideje.si (2) M.
