location
Next to the trail from village Sela na Krasu to border crossing Klariči between Slovenia and Italy; west of village Brestovica pri Komnu, Brestoviški dol (Primorska, Slovenia)notes Slo.: malocvetna španska detelja - syn.: Dorycnium germanicum (Gremli) Rikli, Dorycnium sericeum (Neilr.) Borbàs, Lotus dorycnium L. - Habitat: stony grassland partly overgrown with bushes and scattered trees; moderately steep mountain slope, south aspect; calcareous ground; warm, dry, sunny, open place elevation 130 m (430 feet); average precipitations 1.500-1.600 mm/year, average temperature 12-13 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: skeletal soil. - Comment: The clover Dorycnium pentaphyllum ssp. germanicum is mainly distributed around Mediterranean Sea, mostly in the European southeast part of the region. The plant is often treated on species level (Ref.:3 ) as Dorycnium germanicum. Flora Europaea, Euro+Med Plantbase and IUCN use the proposed name (subspecies level), local floras mostly use the name Dorycnium germanicum. - In Slovenia only two species of genus Dorycnium are known, the alternative taxon being Dorycnium herbaceum Will., which is distinctively taller and different from Dorycnium pentaphyllum ssp. germanicum (Ref.:3). So, the determination of these pictures seems quite reliable but the naming remains an open question. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
