Next to the old road from village Bale to town Pula, at the turn toward village Gajana (Istria, Croatia)notes Slo.: pokončni petoprstnik - syn.: Fragaria recta (L.) Crantz, Pentaphyllum rectum (L.) Nieuwl., Potentilla hirta subsp. recta (L.) Briq., Potentilla fallacina Wołoszczak, Potentilla pseudopallida Siegfr. - Habitat: grassland partly overgrown with bushes, close to a local road; flat terrain, skeletal, calcareous ground; full sun, dry place; elevation 125 m (410 feet); average precipitations 800 - 900 mm/year, average temperature 12-13 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil. Comment: (relates to the album Potentilla recta): Genus Potentilla is huge. There are about 500 species described, about 70 grow in Europe and almost 30 of them in Slovenia. They all have characteristic palmate leaves and flowers with five petals (some exceptions exist). Usually, there is little problem with their identification. Sulphur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) is the tallest of all of them in my country, which means even less problems with determination. It can grow up to 70-80 cm. The species is native to much of Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, and it can be found in other parts of the world as an introduced species. There exist places where it is considered invasive. It is traditionally used in medicine because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Ref. (1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M.
