INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  May 21, 2013
  • latitude 46.05941   longitude 13.60274     View on Google Maps.
  • location   Soča river valley north of Plave village, above the road toward village Goljevica, below Kanalski Kolovrat mountain ridge (Posočje, Slovenia)
  • notes   Slo.: velecvetni serap, velecvetni ralovec - Habitat: grassland, on a meadow within broad leafed woods, south oriented hill slope, warm place, dry and sunny place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations 2.000-2.600 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 295 m (970 feet), submediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Plants from the genus Serapias are very distinctly shaped and visually much different from all other members of Orchidaceae family. They are thus very easy to recognize, however, much more difficult to find them in Slovenia. They are truly at home much more south in warm Mediterranean regions. Only one species, namely Serapias vomeracea is known to grow in Slovenia. The place where these pictures were taken is our most northern known, although west of it, in the great plains and hills of Pad river, it spreads more northern entering the Alps in Ticino region in Switzerland and in their southwest regions in Italy. - Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by 'V' representing a vulnerable species. - Ref.: (1) Personal communication with Mr. BrankoDolinar, www.orhidejeslovenije.com (2) A.
