Aquilegia einseleana F. W. Schultz, syn.: Aquilegia pyrenaica var. einseleana (F. W. Schultz) Fiori, Aquilegia vulgaris var. einseleana (F. W. Schultz) Brhl, Aquilegia bauhini Schott, Aquilegia thalictrifolia Schott & Kotschy, Aquilegia vestinae Pfenn. & D. M. MoserFamily: Ranunculaceae Juss.EN: Einsele's Columbine, DE: Dolomiten Akelei, Einsele-Akelei, Kleinblten-AkeleiSlo.: Einselejeva orlicaDat.: July 3. 2020Lat.: 46.36136 Long.: 13.691614 (WGS84)Code: Bot_1316/2020_DSC04576Habitat: Steep mountain ravine, southeast aspect; stony, calcareous ground; open, sunny, relatively warm place; elevation 850 m (2.790 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6 - 8 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among stones and rocks.Place: Lower Trenta valley between villages Soa and Trenta; Skokar's ravine, below mountain ridge from Mt. Bavki grintavec to Mt. Srebrnjak; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Aquilegia einseleana is a beautiful, endemic, Alpine species of a very attractive genus columbine (Aquilegia). In nature (many, also beautiful, cultivars of this genus exist on the horticultural market) it can be admired only in Slovenian Alps, on a few places in Austria, in northeast Italy, in the south most alpine region in Germany and in a tiny (0.2%) portion of Switzerland in Tessin. It grows in two strictly divided narrow, running in west-east direction, belts: in the most south-eastern calcareous Alps and in a small disjunct location in the most northern calcareous Alps and nowhere else. The plants are smaller and more gracious than other species of this genus growing in Slovenia, but with relatively large, intensive violet blue, beautifully shaped flowers and rounded leaf segments of bluish green color. The plant is rare to very rare in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, however, in Trenta valley it is quite common and by far the most common of all Aquilegia species growing here.Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W.

Extendida por casi toda la Pennsula Ibrica, aunque falta en partes del N, NE y SE. En Aragn se reparte por todo el territorio, pero slo es frecuente en el Sistema Ibrico, donde se concentra en las zonas frescas de montaa, rehuyendo las parameras y depresiones interiores. Es rara en el Pirineo y muy escasa y localizada en la Depresin del Ebro.Hbitat: Pastos y herbazales frescos, juncales, generalmente sobre suelos profundos, en claros y orlas de bosques, depresiones hmedas o bordes de arroyos, colonizando tambin ocasionalmente campos abandonados, ribazos y cunetas.Preferencia edfica: Indiferente Rango altitudinal: ( 300 ) 500- 2000 ( 2200 ) m Floracin: ( Marzo ) Abril - Agosto ( Septiembre )Forma Biolgica: Hemicriptfito escaposoExtractado del Atlas de la Flora de Aragn (Herbario de Jaca)

2009.04.28: Austria, Lower Austria, district Schwechat/WU, 165 m AMSL, young meadow (a year old; ground disturbed previously due to roadworks): habitus.
Flowering typically from june till august, may flower earlier like this one (april).Relatively rare as its preferred habitat is farmland - and herbicides effectively kill them off.German names: Scharlach-AdonisID: Fischer, Exkursionsflora 3rd; from the same habitat as
this one (compare for ID).

Helleborus multifidus ssp. istriacus Vis. (Schiffner) Merxm. & Podl., syn.: Helleborus istriacus (Schiffn.) Borbas, Helleborus odorus Waldst. et Kit. var. istriacus Schiffn., Helleborus viridis subsp. istriacus (Schiffn.) Cristof. & ZanottiLacy Hellebore (?), DE: Istrische Vielspaltige Nieswurz, Istrische NieswurzSlo.: istrski deljenolistni teloh, istrski telohDat.: Apr. 23. 2015Lat.: 45.08763 Long.: 14.45765Code: Bot_0866/2015_DSC5865Habitat: grassland, edge of a pasture next to mixed hardwood forest; locally flat terrain; calcareous, skeletal ground; dry, partly shady, rather open place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 130 m (430 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature 13-15 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: West part of the island Krk, about 500 m north of village Milohnii; Kvarner bay archipelago, Adriatic Sea, Croatia EC.Comment: Taxonomy of the genus Helleborus is 'complex'. Several interpretations exist. The two main reasons are: very frequent occurrences of intermediated forms between species and many and frequent hybrids. Helleborus multifidus ssp. istriacus had been for decades considered as a subspecies of similar Helleborus odorus. Once it was also considered a subspecies of Helleborus viridis. Other authors consider it on species level as Helleborus istriacus. Following the key in Rottersteiner (2014), Ref.: 1 the photographed plants belong to Helleborus multifidus ssp. istriacus due to its palmatelly divided ground leaves with many leaflets (10-15), which are deeply incised, some nearly to the bottom of the leaf and some to about one half of the leaflet length. The leaf edge is finely and sharply serrated (toothed with teeth directed forward). The leaflets should be wider than 15 mm in contrast to very similar subspecies Helleborus multifidus ssp. multifidus, which is supposed to have narrower leaflets. To distinguish both is many times difficult. This is particularly true (including Helleborus odorus) in early spring in March when plants bloom. The ground leaves are not yet developed at that time and the flower stalks and flowers are very variable in all of them. These pictures show plants already forming seeds.The Helleborus multifidus ssp. istriacus is endemic to peninsula Istria and surrounding regions including Kvarner archipelago islands. Apart of this it can be found also in Croatia's central-western part. It grows also in southwest Slovenia, as well as in most northwest part of Italy near the town Trieste.Ref.:(1) W.K.
