malenka, you wonderfully presented the little-known flower swertia to us. It seems we would look for it in vain here.

malenka8. 10. 2020 21:40:59

Thanks, Velkavrh, I think swertia grows on Pohorje here. I'm there too rarely and don't know the exact location, unfortunately.

Kojnik iris (Iris sibirica ssp. erirrhiza)

malenka is spoiling us with her presentations of mountain and other flowers. We really missed this. This way there will be fewer dilemmas in identification. Definitely a beautiful thank you in the name of all flower lovers on this forum!

velkavrh9. 10. 2020 08:06:06

Let me comment a bit on at least some presentation.

Large-flowered milkwort, touch-me-not and alpine yellow archangel I even saw yesterday on the hike to Kucelj.

Scented orchid, I smell it several times-really intoxicating scent.

I have never found the Konjiško iris.

Tender rock cress I've been searching for some years. Two years ago I thoroughly searched Mangart saddle on the hike to Mangart -Slovenski vrh -via Italian valley, but I didn't find it.

Rock goldilocks I probably see, but probably mistake it for lamium. I even have cultivated lamium in my flower garden.

Interesting are the clovers, which I of course know too little. Currently I have borrowed Small flora of Slovenia and there I noticed that in Slovenia about forty species of clovers grow. And even with black clover I have four subspecies. Even in the garden that small yellow-flowering clover is giving me gray hairs, which spreads too much and has a large root system.

Clovers belong to legumes, where we have seven subfamilies. Each subfamily has its own genera. In the genera we then have individual species. In subfamily Ononideae belong clovers -Trifolium.

Interesting is the chestnut-brown clover -Tifolium badium. We find it in the hills.

Inkarnatka -Trifolium incarnatum- we have two subspecies.

White creeping -Tifolium repens- I have it on my little meadow.

Black clover -Trifolium pratense- has four subspecies. Only experts would distinguish them.

Mountain clover -Trifolium montanum- smells.

Noriško clover -Trifolium noricum- we surely find it under the hut on Črni prsti.

Common rabbit's clover -Oxalis- does not belong to legumes at all -the little one said.

I think it is the pale clover -Trifolium pallescens- it is quite common in our hills.

Honey clover -Melilotus- also belongs among legumes -we have five species of them. This one is yellow-flowered.

Goat clover -Lembotropis- likewise belongs among legumes -has two subspecies.

Šmarna clover -Coronilla- we have six species. This is supposed to be the variegated šmarna clover.

Turkish clover -Onobrychis- we have five species -this I photographed in Italy - Dolomiti.

Yes, velkavrh, you correctly identified these of yours (maybe I even hinted at some of them myself some time ago), but I would slightly change your statement regarding the systematics.
Legumes (Fabaceae) are a family that belongs to the order Fabales (besides it there are 2 more families: Polygalaceae and Mimosoideae). This family has 7 tribes, one of them is also Ononideae, which has genera Ononis, Trigonella, Melilotus, Medicago and Trifolium.
On your photos are plants from different tribes (Lembotropis from tribe Genisteae, Coronilla and Onobrychis from tribe Coronilleae). Wood sorrel has nothing to do with legumes (it got the name because of the trifoliate leaves that resemble clover leaves).
We are a bit misled by the fact that in Slovenian nomenclature the word "clover" appears also in other genera, not only for the genus Trifolium, of course there it has the appropriate adjective, so the genus name consists of two words, e.g.: sainfoin (Onobrychis).
So, if we talk about clovers, it only refers to the genus Trifolium.

velkavrh9. 10. 2020 13:39:18

Thanks malenka! The systematics is indeed a bit complicated. Without Small flora of Slovenia I wouldn't understand the division. Yes -Fabales is the order of legumes. Legumes then divide into three families, one of the three is then the family of Fabaceae, which divide into seven subfamilies. In subfamily Ononideae there are five genera-Ononis-rest-harrow, Trigonella-fenugreek, Melilotus-melilot, Medicago-medick and Trifolium-clovers. These are the true clovers. Wood sorrel belongs to the family Oxalidaceae. We have five species here.

As long as I have the handbook Mala flora Slovenije I can still play around a bit with what I have noted in my lists for certain flowers. A small puzzle for me are campions or sončeci. Four grow in Slovenia. Common campion has three subspecies - egg-shaped, shiny and many-flowered. Besides common we have pre-alpine or alpine, grayish and rocky. Three campions we will find on Črna prst - pre-alpine, shiny and many-flowered. Egg-shaped we find even in valleys.

I don't know the rock one - it says it can be found on Nanos. Probably the many-flowered one was identified by malenka.

Probably the many-flowered one - identified by malenka.

I even found this one yesterday at 500m altitude - practically by the roadside into the valley.

malenka9. 10. 2020 15:21:18

4 and 5 are probably many-flowered campions.
The alpine one really has noticeably smaller flowers, leaves don't have stipules like the common one. Subspecies of common campion are hard to distinguish.
I don't know the rocky and grayish ones either.
