location
Lower Trenta valley, somewhat downstream of village Trenta, northwest of the road Bovec - Vršič, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: navadna močvirnica - syn.: Helleborine palustris (L.) Schrank, Serapias palustris L.) Mill. - Habitat: unmaintained grassland, not mowed or fertilized for a long time, near river Soča, flat terrain, open sunny place, alluvial, calcareous ground, shallow ground water, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 570 m (1.850 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Epipactis palustris is one of the species of genus Epipactis, which is easy to find and properly determine. It is not so with other numerous members of this genus. Epipactis palustris also belongs to the three species (along with Epipactis atrorubens and Epipactis helleborine), which are the most frequent and wide spread in Slovenia and in the Alps and other European mountains and also outside of them. The plant loves humid places and calcareous ground. It is spread mostly at low elevations but can occasionally climb up to subalpine elevations. The flowers are relatively large and with little doubt the most beautiful in the genus. Picture 7 shows them in buds. They were growing in large groups of several ten plants along with Gymnadenia conopsea ssp. conopsea, Neotinea ustulata (syn.: Orchis ustulata), Gymnadenia odoratissima and Epipactis atrorubens. - Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).
