location
: Adriatic Sea; Island Olib, half way from village Olib to 'Slatinica' beach, Rijeka region (Kvarner bay, Croatia)notes Slo.: veronska prerast - syn.: Bupleurum baldense ssp. gussonei (Arcang.) Tutin, Bupleurum aristatum Bartl. ex Rchb., Bupleurum humile Vest ex Rchb., Odontea aristata Fourr., Odontites luteolus Spreng. - Habitat: next to a dirt path, sparsely grassy, almost flat, calcareous, skeletal ground; open, sunny, dry place; elevation 11 m (35 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature about 16 deg C, Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: stony soil. - Comment: Bupleurum veronense is an Illyric – East-Alpine species in spite of the fact that it touches the Alps only in Italy in Verona and Brescia provinces (Ref.:2). It is native only to countries around Adriatic Sea growing mostly in Mediterranean regions. One can find it in Albania (there are some doubts about this), Greece (Peloponnese and North and East Central Greece only), Italy (northeast part only), Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and in a single disjunct place far east on peninsula Crimea (Ref.:4). - At the beginning of Mediterranean summers, when it becomes hot and most plants retract and dry up the time of the Bupleurum veronense is coming. Its small yellow stars with the little umbels of individual tiny flowers shine between the dried up grasses and herbs. The plant is not conspicuous since its few leaves are very thin and its flowers are really small. But when looked at from close they are amazing natural jewelry. Almost all species of the genus Bupleurum growing in Slovenia (ten taxa) have very unusually and interestingly shaped inflorescence. They are graphically very attractive and have somehow 'archaic' appearance. - Ref.: (1) A.
