Euphrasia tricuspidata agg.
Verfasst: Samstag 13. Februar 2021, 20:28
Hi there,
In Trenta valley, East Julian Alps, SIovenia I encounter many Euphrasia specimens pictured on the right side of the photo below. As you can see, the plants look amazingly similar to Euphrasia tricuspidata L. = Euphrasia tricuspidata ssp. tricuspidata Hartl = Euphrasia tricuspidata s. str. published by 'Botanic in Bild' (left side of the picture). Also, leaf (Deckbläter) proportions fall closer to E. tricuspidata than to E. cuspidata Host = E. tricuspidata ssp. cuspidata Hartl according to the key in E. Vitek, in Fischer, Exkursionsflora Österreich, ….. (2006), p752. According to literature (HEGI, Mayer, Vitek, Jogan, etc.) E. tricuspidata L. (sub)species is endemic to northeast Italy and doesn't grow in Slovenia. So, I am confused. Can someone help me to clarify the situation?
