notes Slo.: dalmatinska košeničica, CR: žutica dalmatinska, dalmatinska žutilovka - syn.: Genista dalmatica Bartl., Genista silvestris var. dalmatica (Bartl.) H. Lindb. - Habitat: Stony phrygana (a low Mediterranean shrubland community with gaps in vegetation), almost flat terrain; open, dry, windswept, sunny place; calcareous, stony skeletal ground, elevation 200 m (650 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature 12 -13 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil among rocks. - Comment (pertains to pictures in the Flickr album Genista sylvestris ssp. dalmatica): In the genus Genista about 90 species are known growing in Europe, north Africa and west Asia. Many of them are very similar and their taxonomy is not yet univocally settled. Presently Genista sylvestris ssp. dalmatica is a subspecies of Genista sylvestris. It is a 'dwarf'-bush (hamefit) and an endemic plant known only from Dinaric mountains in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania and East Adriatic Sea shore and pertaining islands of Croatia. In addition, a few disjunct spots in Italy are also known. It is a plant of a dry, stony and sunny habitats (heliophyte) growing from sea level up to the highest mountain peaks in the region at 1.800 m altitude. On Adriatic island, in spite of the impression that it sometimes grows in apparently 'pure stone' terrain, it flowers abundantly. In the central part of the island Cres it is quite common and one should not have troubles to find it blooming in April and May. Watch on stem hairs. If they are pilose (long, soft, more or less straight) this is Genista sylvestris ssp. dalmatica, if they are adpressed to the stem, then you found its close relative Genista sylvestris ssp. sylvestris (which doesn't grow on Adriatic islands but on mainland). Genista sylvestris ssp. dalmatica is strictly protected by law in Croatia. - Ref.: (1) A.
