Above the Mt. Mangart Alpine tool road, just after the bridge over 'Mangartski potok' stream, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)synonyms Dactylorhiza lapponica ssp. rhaetica
notes Slo.: laponska pasasta kukavica - Habitat: steep, northwest oriented slope above a road, loosely settled scree, sand and stones stabilized by iron mesh, sparsely overgrown; the place was wiped off all vegetation including trees a few years ago by a hudge rockslide; open, sunny place; calcareous bedrock; exposed to direct rain, elevation 1,150 m (3.800 feet), average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4 -6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: sandy soil. - Comments: The place was full of wild orchids. More than 30 plants have been observed on June 6.. Most of them were recognized as Dactylorhiza majalis ssp. majalis although many plants showed large variability (for example lack of dark spots on the leaves). At the second visit of the place on June 10 some of the plants were recognized as Dactylorhiza lapponica (Ref.:1). As far as we know at the moment this is the first find of this species in the Upper Soča valley region. - Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah' Url.
