Myosoton aquaticum (L) Moench., syn.: Malachium aquaticum (L.) Fries, Stellaria aquatica (L.) Scop., Cerastium aquaticum L., Alsine aquatica (L.) Britton.Giant Chickweed, Water Chickweed, DE: Wassermiere, Gemeine WasserdarmSlo.: navadna mokricaDat.: Sept. 21. 2008Lat.: 46.33430 Long.: 13.53884Code: Bot_298/2008_DSC3602Habitat: small humid meadow; almost flat terrain; cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock; partly in shade, elevation 440 m (1.450 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: moist soil.Place: Bovec basin, west of Bovec; near the path from Kanin cable car station A to Pluna village, after the bridge crossing Roica brook; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Myosoton aquaticum is the only species of genus Myosoton (monotypic genus) but a very common plant of wet to humid places like areas along streams, marshes, humid meadows, roadside ditches, and among bushes, often also on disturbed ground. It is considered 'a weed' by some, although it has no negative economic impact. The plant is of Eurasian origin, but today more widely distributed, also introduced to North America. When introduced it remains 'modest', not aggressive and has no known negative impact to local habitats or in agriculture. The plant is evergreen. It remains low in habitus but stems can grow to considerable length (50 -100 cm) and form rhizomes, which enables it to form vegetative colonies of considerable size if the environmental conditions allow. Flowers with five snow-white petals, five slender white styles, and ten stamens are small (8 12 mm in diameter) but actually very beautiful.Ref.:(1) A.
