location
Istria, Učka mountain group, north of Mt. Vojak, almost on top of the mountain ridge above to the road to the top (Rijeka region, Croatia)notes Slo.: Fuchsov grint - syn.: Jacobaea ovata G. Gaertn. & al., Senecio fuchsii C. C. Gmel., Senecio nemorensis subsp. fuchsii (C. C. Gmel.) Ces. - Habitat: steep mountain slope, east aspect; Fagus sylvatica forest; calcareous ground; in shade, elevation 1.350 m (4.430 feet); average precipitations ~ 2.200 mm/year, average temperature 7-8 deg C, Mountain Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Senecio ovatus ssp. ovatus is native to central and southeast Europe but it is now naturalized or alien to UK and part of Scandinavia. There are a few very closely related taxa, which differ in slightly in their pubescens, leaf shape and average number of florets in their flower heads. It is not always easy to distinguish them because these traits are all variable. These stands on Mt. Učka, a mountain, which is full of botanical attractions and which dominates (with its 1.401 m height) the whole Kvarner bay of Adriatic Sea and Kvarner archipelago islands, are the largest I've seen. - All species od the genus Senecio are seriously poisonous. They contain Pyrrolizidinalkaloides, which are known carcinogen and mutagen substances. Animals don’t eat them when grazing, however, if the plants come into hay they may cause serious problems for cattle. - Ref.: (1) W.K.
