location
Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soča and Trenta, right bank of river Soča between the road an river, downstream of Otokar farm house, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: bavarska lanika - syn.: Thesium montanum Ehrh. ex Hoffm., Thesium linophyllon subsp. montanum (Schrad.) Celak. - Habitat: mountain slope, southeast aspect; next to river bank; light wood and bushes; among tall herbs; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground; mostly in shade, dry place; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-9 deg C, elevation 535 m (1.750 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Genus Thesium is large and spread on all continents except North America and Australia. The richest with species is South Africa. In Slovenia seven species can be found. Thesium bavarum is the tallest among them. It parasitize on roots of surrounding plants. In spite of its size it is probably frequently overlooked since it usually grows among other tall herbs and has very small, only a few mm large, flowers. Not really a photogenic plant and quite difficult for photography. This is partly due to its slender stalks, which swing here and there already in the slightest breeze and also due to the fact that all plant's details are miniature. The plant is endangered and protected in several countries (for. example in parts of Germany and in Hungary). Ref.: (1) Identification confirmed by dr.
