notes Slo.: prezrta 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 (pertains to the Flicker album Epipactis leptochila subsp. neglecta – II): Epipactis leptochila subsp. neglecta is a quite rare species in Slovenia. It can be recognized by overall greenish to yellowish appearance, sometimes with pinkish of violet tints, relatively long and narrow, pinkish or whitish epichile, more or less one-sided inflorescence, evenly distributed steam leave (not concentrated near the ground), 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 variety to full species rank. For example, Ref.: 6. doesn't even mention it and Delforge (Ref.1) keeps it fairly low on taxonomic scale – as a variety. Pictures show the plant, which was photographed already in 2020 (see Flickr album Epipactis leptochila subsp. neglecta – I). It did not appear in 2021. - 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) P.
