Field Notes

Description:

The only species of its genus, it is a rhizomatous, clump-forming herbaceous perennial, growing to only about 5 – 10 cm in height, with glossy pale green leaves which only fully develop after flowering. The flowers, appearing late winter and early spring, consist of multiple tiny yellow florets framed by lime green bracts, and carried in dense spherical umbels 4 cm in diameter.

Habitat:

Native to moist, shady woodland habitats in Europe.
This one was spotted on the mountain Medvednica (about 1 000 m of altitude).

Imaš pravo, sad i ja vidim, to mi se valjda omaklo među ostalim kukurjecima ;)
bok, injica, sorry, ali ime vrste nije točno, sigurna sam da je ovo Hacquetia epipactis (De Candolle), ili na hr volujsko oko :-)
Yeah I know, but this was about a year ago when this group has a different name, so I find it a bit hard to go through all my spotting and correct it but I'm trying too!
great spotting Injica,congrats and thanks for sharing,i think the Plants of equador mission,is a local mission,with a limited range,Ecuador is on the south america,so you have to change that,see allways the range of the local missions you joined :-)
