Pedicularis rostratocapitata Crantz, syn.: Pedicularis rostato-capitata, Pedicularis jacquinii Koch.DE: Kopfiges Lusekraut, Jacquins LusekrautSlo.:glaviasti uivecDat.: Aug. 01. 2014Lat.: 46.43987 Long.: 13.64382Code: Bot_820/2014_DSCHabitat: alpine grassland, gently eastward sloping terrain, shallow calcareous skeletal ground with some silicate, relatively dry and warm place, full sun; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 1.960 m (6.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart's flats, east of the beginning of Mt. Mangart terminal road loop, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia ECComment: This beautifully colored member of genus Pedicularis is quite common on Mangart's flats. Otherwise it is limited to east half of the Alps but can be found on Balkan Peninsula and Carpathians too. There are six similar species of this genus growing in Slovenia having more or less reddish flowers. But Pedicularis rostratocapitata is easy to recognize among them. It has very characteristic calyx. Its calyx is (almost - compared to other Pedicularis species) glabrous and has typical 'decoration' at the end of calyx segments (see picture #4). Another easy to see feature of the flower is a long beak at the end of galea (the helmet shaped upper lip of corolla), which reflects also in its Latin species name: 'rostrum' means 'beak' and 'capitatus' means 'having a head'. But there are also other species of Pedicularis, which have similar beaks. So, this beak represents only a required but not a sufficient trait for determination.Ref.:(1) A.

Pedicularis julica E. Mayer, syn.: Pedicularis elongata Kerner ssp. julica (Mayer) Hartl, Pedicularis elongata A.Kerner f. goricensa SteinigerJulian lousewort (?), DE.: Julisches Lusekraut, Julisch-LusekrautSlo.: julijski uivecDat.: July 12. 2014Lat.: 46.43838 Long.: 13.63005Code: Bot_811/2014_IMG6253Habitat: sparsely overgrown scree, road side, locally almost flat terrain on a steep, southeast oriented mountain slope, full sun, moderately dry place, calcareous skeletal ground, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 1-3 deg C, elevation 1.775 m (5.820 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among stones and rocks.Place: Mt. Mangart flats, below Mt. Skala, 2.133 m (6.996 feet), near Mt. Mangart alpine road, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Pedicularis julica is quite a rare narrow endemic plant of high elevations (from 1.200 to 2.700 m) of Julian Alps. Outside of Slovenia it can be found only in immediate neighboring regions of Italy west of and in Austria north of the Julian Alps. It was first found and described (locus classicus) on Mt. rna prst in south Julian Alps.To distinguish it from numerous other Pedicularis species (some estimate that total number of them worldwide approaches 600!) growing in our mountains is not difficult. Distinguishing traits are yellow color of flowers (most members of genus Pedicularis growing in the Julian Alps are red or purple), distinctly hairy calyx and characteristic steam, which has hairs arranged in two parallel rows. It's Western Alps 'brother' Pedicularis elongata ssp. elongata, which can sometimes also be found in Slovenia, is easy to distinguish from Pedicularis julica because it has glabrous calyx. The plant photographed was growing solitary.Ref.:(1) H. Sauerbier, W. Langer, Alpenpflanzen: Endemiten von Nizza bis Wien (II), IHW-Verlag (2000), ISBN 3-930167-41-7, p 169.(2) M.A. Fischer, W.
