Slo.: piramidasti pilovec in vzhodna crnika

Slo.: piramidasti pilovec - Habitat: stony karst unmaintained grassland, modestly south inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground; dry, open and sunny place, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 1.700 mm/year, average temperature 10-12 deg C, elevation 375 m (1.250 feet), submediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comments: Anacamptis pyramidalis is a member of predominantly Mediterranean Orchis family. It has extremely small and light seeds, like dust, so the wind spreads them very effectively. However, the seeds do not contain enough nutrients, which are necessary for germination. Successful orchid seed germination requires several correct conditions to be present - type of soil, moisture, oxygen, light and warmth and, in addition, seeds require also the presence of mycorrhizal soil fungus. The fungus must infect the seeds and provide missing nutrients for the germination of the plant. Nevertheless, growth of the plant is very slow and it can take several years from germination to first flowering. The mutual relations between fungi and orchids are manifold, species specific and still in large part unknown or not understood well. Apparently both sides have several benefits, although some orchids expel the fungi after they mature and produce their own food by their green leafs. - Anacamptis pyramidalis is not a rare plant and easy to find in grassland due to its attractive and deep color of flowers, which can't be overlooked. Also identification is easy based on, among other traits, very specific pyramidal shape of the inflorescences, at least at the beginning of blooming period. Later the inflorescences lengthen considerably. These plants are endangered by flower pickers and hence protected. - Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah' Ur.l. RS, t. 46/2004 (Regulation of protection of wild plants, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, No.: 46/2004). Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by 'V' representing an endangered species. - Ref.: (1) H. Baumann, S. Kuenkele, R. Lorenz, Orchideen Europas, Ulmer (2006), p9.

Slo.: metuljasta kukavica - syn.: Orchis papilionacea L. - Coordinates intentionally not precize. - Habitat: grassland, open relatively dry place, full sun, almost flat terrain, rather thick soil layer, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations 1.600- 1-800 mm/year, average temperature about 12 deg C, elevation 175 m (575 feet), submediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Anacamptis papilionacea is a beautiful Mediterranean species sometimes growing in large groups where it is at home. Slovenia is at its most northern border of territory of occurrence. Consequently it is a rare plant, hard to find it. Only few stands with rather small numbers of plants are known. At the place in the Vipava valley where these photos have been taken only two or three plants grow. Since it is so rare it is hard to objectively judge about the future of its stands. Most probably it is in decline in spite of the fact that during last few years two new stands have been discovered. It disappeared from France (exception Corsica) and it has only a single last indigenous stand known in Switzerland ( Ref.4. >1993). - Anacamptis papilionacea is a very variable species so no wonder numerous taxa on the level of subspecies, varieties and forms have been described by different authors, who have never come to a generally accepted, at least to some degree stable, taxonomy of the genus. In addition resent molecular studies proved that that what was once named Orchis papilionacea is now Anacamptis papilionacea, even the genus has been changed. To those more interested in this long story I recommend to read almost amusing text in Ref.3. - Protected according to 'Uredba o zavarovanih prostoiveih rastlinskih vrstah' Url.
