Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soča, near confluence with Lepenica stream, east of 'Za otoki' place, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: dolgojadrni grahovec - Habitat: Larger openings in riparian wood, Picea abies and Salix eleagnos dominant; alluvial, shallow, stony and sandy, calcareous ground; flat terrains; full sun, locally dry place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 425-430 m (1.390-1.410 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among stones and sand. Comment: Astragalus onobrychis is west Asian - east European plant growing in many parts of the Alps, Apennines, Carpathians, Dinaric and south Balkan Peninsula mountains. The warmth loving plant hadn't been known in the alpine and prealpine phytogeographical region of Slovenia until recently. In 2008 it was discovered on an isolated, locally sunny and warm place in Trenta valley at the mouth of Lepena side valley. It is now showing its beautiful violet flowers year after year on more or less the same place. For now this is its only known location in Julian Alps and among the most northern in Slovenia.
