location
Lower Trenta valley, near Trenta 4, Otokar's farmhouse and sawmill, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)family
Lamiaceae
notes Habitat: grassland, road side, locally flat terrain, alluvial, calcareous ground, elevation 535 m (1.755 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Galeopsis pubescens is native to Europe but it can be found introduced also elsewhere. Some call it a weed - good for nothing. It doesn't smell pleasantly; it doesn't smell at all since it contains no etheric oils like most of other Lamiaceae. It grows in semi-shade and open places, in woods, among bushes, on ruderal places, on calcareous to siliceous, acid, neutral and basic ground. It occupies lowland and montane elevation belt. The plant can be separated from other members of the family by its stem hairs. There are three types: appressed, soft and short, simple hairs; scattered, long, bristly hairs near the stem nodes and glandular hairs with dark glands. Slightly thickened stem below the nodes (see Fig. 3c.) is another characteristic trait. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
