Astragalus onobrychis L.DE: Esparsetten Tragant, Esparsetten StragelSlo.: dolgojadrni grahovecDat.: June 27. 2010Lat.: 46.33494 Long.: 13.63622Code: Bot_432/2010_IMG1168Habitat: Larger openings in riparian wood, Picea abies and Salix eleagnos dominant; alluvial, shallow, stony and sandy, calcareous ground; flat terrains; full sun, locally dry place; exposed to direct rain; elevation 425-430 m (1.390-1.410 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among stones and sand.Place: Lower Trenta valley, left bank of river Soa, near confluence with Lepenica stream, east of 'Za otoki' place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Astragalus onobrychis is west Asian - east European plant growing in many parts of the Alps, Apennines, Carpathians, Dinaric and south Balkan Peninsula mountains. The warmth loving plant hadn't been known in the alpine and prealpine phytogeographical region of Slovenia until recently. In 2008 it was discovered on an isolated, locally sunny and warm place in Trenta valley at the mouth of Lepena side valley. It is now showing its beautiful violet flowers year after year on more or less the same place. For now this is its only known location in Julian Alps and among the most northern in Slovenia.Ref.:(1) Personal communication with Dr. Igor Dakskobler, Natural History Institute Jovan Hadi, SAZU.(2) M.A. Fischer, W.

Genus Astragalus comprises numerous, sometimes quite similar, species and subspecies. Determination to species and subspecies level is frequently not easy. Hence there exist so many synonym names. Taxonomically many consider this taxon on subspecies level only as Astragalus monspessulanus ssp. illyricus. According to GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) (Ref.:3) it is distributed mainly along east coast of Adriatic Sea with two disjunct occurrences in Italy and France (however, compared to Ref.: 4, 5 and 6 the information provided here seems quite incomplete). On the highest mountain ridges of island Krk the plant display itself in abundance as a marvelous decoration of interesting, white, mostly barren, stony landscape.Ref.:(1) R.
