malenka gave me the idea again to look at our sticky catchflies. According to Small Flora of Slovenia we find as many as nineteen species in Slovenia. Only the bell one has four subspecies and the pyramidal sticky catchfly has two subspecies. I haven't found all of them by far. But I do have the most common and known ones.

Under the carnation family -Caryophyllaceae also belongs the genus sandworts--Heliosperma, which we often mix with sticky catchflies, although it is a separate genus. We best know the alpine one, four-toothed has three subspecies, woolly also has three subspecies and is completely unknown to me.

White campion-Silene latifolia-the most common white valley flower.

Red campion -Silene dioica -in the subalpine zone replaces the red campion of the white.

In the valley we also have plenty of bladder campion -Silene vulgaris.

On screes in the subalpine and higher grows a subspecies of bladder campion -Silene vulgaris subsp.

Probably nodding catchfly - one of the subspecies. I always find it near the parking lot on Jezerce mountain pasture below Krvavec - said malenka.

Nodding catchfly - Silene nutans subsp. - Two subspecies grow here.

Not rock campion - said malenka - photographed it near Savica waterfall close to the bridge.

Four-toothed sandwort. Heliosperma pusillum subsp. pudibundum - found in the high mountains.

Hayek's campion - I'm not sure if it's the correct one.

I found this campion near the Škocjan Caves. I don't know its name.

Somewhere I saw that it is called Laška campion - not Laška campion - said malenka.

The only red one is stemless campion - Silene acualis.

This should be the dwarf campion - Silene pusilla.

This is four-toothed sandwort - Heloisperma pussillim subsp.pudibundum - I consider it to be this subspecies, as I found it on a hike to Triglav - 2400m.

Also four-toothed sandwort - identified by malenka.

Common fumitory used to grow among cereals. In recent years I don't see it anymore.

I checked in Small Flora of Slovenia also under toadflaxes and read that we find six species in Slovenia. The Pyrenean one has two subspecies.

I also checked how it is with touch-me-nots. They belong to Balsaminaceae family. Five species grow in Slovenia. Four are alien species -small-flowered-I don't know, glandular, peach blossom-I don't know and Balfour's. All four came from Asia. Especially the glandular touch-me-not spreads a lot and overgrows large areas especially along watercourses.

This flax I find in the forest near my home - probably Bavarian flax - malenka said.

Common kokalj - found on a field near the field in 2013 and never again.

Balfour's touch-me-not -Impatiens balfourii- malenka explained the missing letter.

Glandular touch-me-not -Impatiens grandulifera- malenka explained the swapped letter.

Small-flowered touch-me-not -Impatiens parviflora- native to central Asia - identified by malenka.

I reviewed some vetches a bit. In Slovenia we find twenty species. Spring one is in two subspecies. Bald and yellow vetch confuse me a bit. I saw both -the one on Kamniški vrh and the one on the botanical path of Črne prsti.-To me they seem the same. For the species Lathyrus pannonicus no Slovenian name is given -we have two subspecies.

Vetches at first glance we very quickly confuse with peas and everlasting peas.

It cannot be confirmed that it is tuberous vetch - malenka said.

Yellow vetchling -Latgyrus occidentalis var. montanus

Probably it is spring vetchling - malenka said.

Vetch - hybrid or large-flowered - malenka said.

Sweet milkvetch -Astragalus glycyphyllos

Illyrian milkvetch -Astragalus illyricus subsp. illyricus.

Hairy-flowered milkvetch -Astrogalus penduliflorus -Italy - looked up at malenka's.

Vetch -hybrid or large-flowered -photographed in Italy -malenka said.

This vetchling I find near home -I think it is meadow vetchling.

This does not belong among vetchlings -it is wood vetch -Vicia sylvatica -found at malenka's-flowers of Kamniški vrh.

Bush vetch -Vicia sepium-grew near my home -determined by malenka.

This is smooth vetchling - Lathyrus laevigatus - from Kamniški vrh - identified by Malenka.

Malenka showed us goose cinquefoil. Only this one is a bit different from cinquefoils, at least as far as I know them, because it has different leaves than the others. They are characterized by so-called strawberry leaves-at least that's what I call them. They belong to the rose family-Rosaceae-There are 29 genera of roses. One of them is cinquefoils. In Slovenia we find 27 species. They appear in white, yellow and red color. Red is only our Triglav rose-for me the most beautiful of our cinquefoils. Our cinquefoils have no subspecies. I will show what I have already found here-I don't have the goose one photographed. Abroad we would find also large-flowered and glacial ones.

I will start with my favorite - the Triglav rose.

Shiny cinquefoil or Triglav rose - Potentilla nitida.

Clusius' cinquefoil - Potentilla clusiana.

Prealpine cinquefoil - Potentilla caulescens.

White cinquefoil - Potentilla alba - photographed on the way to Vremščica.

Small-flowered cinquefoil - Potentilla micrantha - photographed on the way to Vremščica.

Tommasini's cinquefoil - Potentilla tommasiniana - found on Vremščica.

Golden cinquefoil - Potentilla aurea. The golden and Crantz's are so similar that I actually cannot distinguish them.

Cinquefoil - Potentilla erecta - photographed near my home.

I am not sure which one this is. I do not know exactly where I photographed it.

This is cinquefoil from Kamniški vrh. It has different sepals than the previous one - here the septfoil should grow.

Now is the time to look a bit at what we photographed this year. I looked back at what malenka sent us. 20.09. she sent us a picture of gentian, but it doesn't grow here. It was field gentian.

With bristly gentian -the only blue one and gentle gentian there will be no problem in identification. Otherwise with say pink or violet gentians. So nine species grow here including bristly and gentle. Determining the other gentians is real art. We have hairy (found on Slavnik), Liburnian (found on Snežnik), the most common is cup-shaped in three subspecies, German-in two subspecies, Austrian-in three subspecies and early-in three subspecies.

Determination in the guide Small Flora of Slovenia is explained for cup, rough, German, Austrian and early -it's about different shape and flowering time, early summer they are a bit branched and lower, late summer and autumn higher and branched from below already.

I except bristly and gentle can't distinguish the others.

fringed gentianella - Gentianella ciliata.

silvo1952, I think this is dry narrow-leaved sedge

malenka11. 10. 2020 19:11:38

Velkavrh, with sticky catchflies you have a lot of confusion.
5 - not green-flowered sticky catchfly. Very likely pyramidal sticky catchfly, one of the subspecies. Flower color is not important, it goes from green, red to white. Important is the calyx shape, which in green-flowered is really extremely thin and long, until the fruit thickens. Yours is already rounded during flowering.
10 and 11 - not rock campion, s. l. has much wider leaves - I recently published them and they are in the gallery.
Those in pic. 10 I don't know, in picture 11 it's four-toothed sandwort.
14 and 15 - Laški campion.
18 and 19 - alpine sandwort. Stem color doesn't matter, they vary. Important are size and shape of plant parts!

Velkavrh, toadflaxes are hard to determine. I assume that on picture 3 it's the quite large one - Bavarian toadflax.
Ones like on picture 2, I haven't seen yet. For difficult species it's important to know also data: where, when, what is the habitat etc.
In the name for picture 5 you're missing a letter: balfourova.
In the post text and picture 6: glandular touch-me-not, (not gland). In names every letter is important.
On picture 7 you have small-flowered touch-me-not, it has tiny pale yellow flowers. The common one I also recently published, flowers are bright yellow and different shape, about 4 times larger than small-flowered. Flowers are single, in leaf axils along the stem, while small-flowered has many together in inflorescence at the top of the plant.

malenka11. 10. 2020 19:49:17

Still about vetches and relatives:

1 - without stem and leaves I can't confirm.
3 - definitely not wood vetch. Could be spring vetch.
4 - not lax-flowered v., not a vetch at all but a vetchling. If the calyx on the outer side is hairy, it's hybrid vetchling, if glabrous, it's many-flowered vetchling. Same goes for picture 8.
11 - not many-flowered vetchling but bush vetch Vicia sepium.
12 - the species on K. peak is not yellow but smooth vetch, need to check the calyx teeth by which they differ, and hairiness. The yellow one I found on Porezen. In 2008 I posted on foto-narava a precise photo of yellow vetch, where hairiness and long calyx teeth are visible http://galerija.foto-narava.com/displayimage.php?pos=-30833
Smooth one has no hairs and very short teeth on calyx.
In Small flora it says (thank goodness), that if the plant has intermediate traits between both (also leaflet and flower size), it's determined as L. occidentalis var. montanus.
Don't know why you wrote that name by picture 2, where the label says yellow vetch (without 'var. montanus').

Five-fingered cranesbills, commenting on Velkavrh's post.
First 8 pictures OK.
10 and 11 - OK.
9, 12 and 13 are from hard-to-identify group: seven-leaved, ground-hugging, southern ... Some botanists think most 'seven-leaved' here are actually ground-hugging (G. pusillum). Hard with them.
But tommasinii is definitely very easily recognizable, as it has leaves in 3 (rarely 5) wide lobes that are densely woolly-hairy.
