Paederota bonarota (L.) L., syn.: Veronica bonarotaBluish Paederota, DE: Buonarota-Ehrenpreis, Blues Mnderle, Blau-Mnderle, Wildes Manndele, Dolomiten-EhrenpreisSlo.; modro miljeDat.: July 12. 2014Lat.: 46.43862 Long.: 13.63022Code: Bot_811/2014_IMG6192Habitat: vertical face of a high stony road cut, south oriented mountain slope, calcareous ground, full sun, partly protected from direct rain, elevation 1.780 m (5.840 feet), average temperature 1-3 deg C, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices.Place: Mt. Mangart's flats, rocky road cut near the last tunnel of Mt. Mangart alpine road, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Paederota bonarota is in Slovenia known only from the highest regions of west most parts of Julian Alps. It is an endemic species strictly bound to calcareous ground and limited to calcareous south Alps and a few isolated locations in calcareous north Alps near Saltsburg in Austria (Ref.:3). In Slovenia it is much rarer than its quite common 'brother' Paederota lutea Scop., which has similar habitus and habitat, but pale yellow flowers. Also Paederota lutea is endemic but limited to south-east Alps.Nothing similar to Paederota bonarota exists in Slovenia. So the correct determination of (both) species is easy. Photographed plants were growing scattered in many rock crevices along vertical road cut.Ref.:(1) A. Martini et all., Mala Flora Slovenije, Tehnina Zaloba Slovenije (2007) (in Slovene), p 554. (2) D.

Paederota x churchillii Huter., syn.: Paederota-bonarota-x-Paederota-luteaDE: Hibrid Gelber Ehrenpreis und Buonarota-EhrenpreisSlo.: krianec med rumenim in modrim miljemDat.: July 28. 2005Lat.: 4621'46.69"S Long.: 1327'29.12"V46.36297 13.45809 Code: Bot_0067/2005_DSC0072Habitat: rocks and scree with scattered patches of grassland, almost vertical south oriented mountain slope; bare, calcareous ground; full sun; elevation 2.340 m (7.678 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature ~ 0 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices.Place: Mt. Kanin mountain group, few meters below Forca Tedesca pass, below Mt. Hudi Vri, 2.478 m (8.130 feet), very close to Slovenia- Italy border line, Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: There are only two species of genus Paederota: pale-yellow blooming Paederota lutea and intensive, dark blue blooming Paederota bonarota. Both are endemic to southeast Alps and both grow in Slovenia. Paederota lutea is a common plant of high mountains while Paederota bonarota is quite rare and in Slovenia limited to mountains of Upper Soa river region (west most Slovenian Alps). Where both species are coexisting they sometimes hybridize. The result is plants with intermediate traits of both parents. The most apparent is the color of flowers, which is somewhere in between pale yellow and deep blue. Such are also the leaves in respect to their shape, number of dents on their edge and color (yellow-green with many, sharp dents on each side with Paederota lutea and shiny, dark green, broadly egg shaped to almost round with only a few large dents with Paederota bonarota). The plants photographed seem closer to Paederota bonarota; however color of the flowers is evidently different. The hybrid has been found several times in Slovenia so far. Finds from Mangart's plateau and Upper Trenta valley have been described in literature (Ref.: 1, 2, 3). Only a few plants were found this time on Forca Tedesca with a single inflorescence. Most probably this was my first and the last encounter with this interesting mountain rarity. Ref.:(1) Personal communication.
