Northeast of village Golo Brdo, next to the first switchback of the road leading east toward village Košbana, Goriška Brda (Goriška, Slovenia)notes Slo.: Tomasinijev petoprstnik - syn.: Potentilla cinerea Chaix & Vill. ssp. tommasiniana (F. Schultz) Gerstb. Potentilla acaulis subsp. tommasiniana (F. Schultz) Soják, Potentilla arenaria subsp. tommasiniana (F. Schultz) Th. Wolf, Potentilla cinerea subsp. tommasiniana (F. Schultz) Velen - Habitat: Grassland next to a local road; slightly inclined hill slope, southwest aspect; dry place; full sun; elevation 135 m (440 feet); average precipitations 1.800-2.000 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: Potentilla tommasiniana is another beautiful species of large genus cinquefoil Potentilla. It is named by Muzio Tommasini an amateur botanist from Trieste, Italy active in 19th century, who was thoroughly familiar with flora of surrounding territories, which are today parts of Slovenia. Potentilla tommasiniana is primarily a warmth loving East (sub)Mediterranean species. At first glance it doesn't differ much from other yellow blooming relatives. The main characteristics are grayish-green, densely haired leaves and stalks, presence of stellate hairs (in addition to other types of hairs), ternate ground leaves (upper ones are often palmate with five leaflets) and inflorescences with several flowers. However, Potentilla tommasiniana is very variable and its taxonomy is quite unsettled. Some sources do not recognize it at all and consider it as a synonym of Potentilla cinerea (Ref.: 5). Others recognize it on subspecies level either as Potentilla cinerea ssp. tommasiniana (Ref.: 3, 8) or of Potentilla acaulis ssp. tommasiniana (Ref.: 11) or Potentilla arenaria var. tommasiniana (Flora Europaea cited in Ref.: 9). The EuroMed Plant Database (Ref.: 4), Slovenian botany key (Ref. 2) as well as Croatian key (Ref.: 7) and several other sources recognize it on species level. Aeschimann, Flora Alpina (Ref.: 8) considers Potentilla tommasiniana taxonomically questionable taxon. The species is known from warmer regions of northeast Italy (Ref.: 6, 11), southwest Slovenia (Ref.: 10) and warmer regions of Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina (Ref.: 9).
