Slo.: nena logarica, Cr.: njena kockavica, vitka kockavica - ., syn.: Fritillaria messanensis subsp. gracilis (Ebel) Rix, Lilium gracile Ebel., Fritilaria neglecta Parl. - Habitat: open stony grassland but also in light Fagus sylvatica forest, calcareous, Karst, humus-rich rendzina soil ground with frequently outcropped carbonate rock, partly sunny, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations about 2.000 mm/year, average temperature 5-7 deg C, elevation 920 (3.020 feet), mountain submediterranean/Dinaric phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil - Comment: Members of Fritilaria genus are all very tender and beautiful plants with large bell shaped flowers. Only two of them Fritillaria meleagris and Fritilaria orientalis grow in Slovenia and both are rare, endangered and protected. The same is true for Fritilaria gracilis, which unfortunately doesn't appear in my country but south of it in west Balkan peninsula Dinaric mountains (Orjen, Velebit, Prokletije). Endemic to coastal mountains of Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and north Albania it appears nowhere else in the world. - Enlisted in the Croatian Red book of rare and endangered species, marked by 'VU' representing a sensitive species. - Ref.: (1) . ili, Endemine biljke (Endemic plants), Svjetlost, Sarajevo (1984) (in Serbo-Croatian), p164.

Cosmopolitan organism found worldwide. Individual zooids are hermaphroditic; they do not self fertilize. Non-feeding 'tadpole' larvae settle to found new colonies. The larvae have the characteristics of a vertebrate embryo making them relatives of ours. Field of view 15 mm.
