Eriophorum scheuchzeri Hoppe, syn.: Eriophorum altaicum Meinsh.Scheuchzer's Cottongrass, White Cottongrass, DE: Alpen-Wollgras, Scheuchzer-WollgrasSlo.: Scheuchzerjev munec Dat.: July 3. 2017Lat.: 46.43893 Long.: 13.64412Code: Bot_1071/2017_DSC02193Habitat: small high mountain march; flat terrain; calcareous ground with some siliceous rocks; full sun, wet ground; elevation 1.970 m (6.450 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart plateau, between the largest snow valley and Red rock place; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Eriophorum scheuchzeri is a true Arctic plant. It is present all around the northern hemisphere and particularly common far north, where it sometimes forms large fields. Zillions of its beautifully silver-white fruit heads look like snow covered ground. However, it is present also in boreal regions. Of cause, in southern regions of its occurrence it can survive only in cold high mountain conditions. In Slovenia Eriophorum scheuchzeri is a rare and protected plant, constricted to acid bog habitats in the Alps. Such places with rarely less than 2.000 m elevation are rare in my country. Hence each encounter with this beautiful plant is an inimitable experience.
