location
Adriatic Sea coast, above and below the path from town Piran to Fiesa bay, just before the path leaves the town Piran (Primorska, Slovenia)notes Slo.: zlatenec, zlati šebenik - syn.: Cheiranthus cheiri L. - Habitat: vertical manmade stony wall and natural stony faces, north aspect, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock; dry place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 15 m (50 feet); average precipitations 1.000-1.100 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, submediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: vertical rock walls and faces. Comment: Erysimum cheiri is an interesting and beautiful plant. It origins from south Greece and Aegean but today it is widely cultivated for centuries. One can find it in gardens in all Mediterranean countries and elsewhere. In many regions it is long time already naturalized and can be also found growing wild. In Slovenia only two such places are known: near the town Piran on Slovenian Adriatic coast and near town Nova Gorica. The stands near (better: almost in) the town Piran grow on inaccessible vertical walls falling from the path from Piran to Fiesa bay down to sea level. The plant is one of thousands species of family Cruciferae but can be easily recognized by its golden flowers and deeply divided stiles (see Fig.8). Beautiful, lovely fragrant but poisonous too!
