Of course, I usually use field guides or keys for determination, if it's possible...unfortunately there's lack of Croatian publication, except for plants...
DanielePralong
Great! It is always so much better when it can be confirmed with a local reference :-)

Hello, Daniele! That's what I thought it would be...I went to library and took the key for determination of Croatian plants, the description fits: hairy leaves, big flovers, straight spur...It's our endemic species! :) thank you very much for your help :)
DanielePralong
Hi Jopy! What do you think? If the species is correct it is endemic to montane and subalpine calcareous sites in the northwestern coastal areas of Croatia and Bosnia/Herzegovina . http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitaibel-Akelei
