location
Mount Mangart region, west of the largest snow valley in Mangart's flats, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)family
Selaginellaceae
notes Slo.: alpska drežica - Habitat: stony alpine grassland, almost flat terrain, open place, full sun; calcareous ground; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 1,970 m (6.450 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Growing mostly solitary, but several plants in the vicinity. This is another plant which can be found only in subalpine and alpine elevations in Julian Alps. It belongs to ferns (Pterydophyta) and produces spores not seeds. Selaginellla selaginoides belongs to the family Lycopodiaceae, which is as a whole protected by the 'Uredba o zavarovanih prosto živečih rastlinskih vrstah', Ur.l. RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation on protected wild plant species, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46 (2004)). There are at least two other at the first sight similar plants (Huperzia, Lycopodium) growing in Slovenia. However, distinctly and coarsely fringed tiny leaves of S. selaginoides clearly distinguish it from others. - Ref.: 1) A.
