Aconitum lamarckii (Rchb.), syn.: Aconitum lycoctonum ssp. ranunculifolium (Rchb.) Schinz & Keller, several othersSlo.:ozkoeladasta preobjeda, zlatina preobjedaDat.: Aug. 22. 2013Lat.: 46.44202 Long.: 13.64486Code: Bot_745/2013_DSC7600Habitat: stony alpine grassland in a large snow valley, almost flat terrain; calcareous ground with some acid rock; open place, full sun, moist place; exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C,elevation 1970 m (6.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil among rocks.Place: Mt. Mangart's flats region, in the largest snow valley west of the top of Mt. Mangart, 2.679 m (8.787 feet), East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: The plants of the genus Aconitum (all of them are very poisonous) growing in Slovenia are tall and very beautiful. When in bloom, it is impossible to overlook their inflorescences in various shades of yellow, blue and violet. But, determination to species level is not always simple, particularly not among yellow ones. The plants growing on Mangart flats are taxonomically very interesting. Aconitum lamarckii is a species name around which there are several ambiguities. Flora Alpina (Ref.:(2)) considers A. lamarckii a synonym of A. lycoctonum ssp. neapolitanum, A. ranunculifolium and two other names. Flora Helvetica (Ref.:(3)) considers it as a valid name and adds the synonym name A. pyrenaicum. Ref.:(4) (with probably the most elaborated taxonomy description in my reach) states in addition the name A. lycoctonum ssp. ranunculifolium. Unfortunately, the plants growing on Mangart flats do not correspond well to the descriptions behind these names. The ground leaf segments should be linear and very narrow. It is evidently from the pictures that they are not. Also the plants photographed almost never have branched inflorescences. In addition, the inflorescences are much denser than expected. The Ref.:(1) therefore rightly states: " ...the systematics of yellow blooming Aconitum species is still very unclear ...".Growing in a large group of more than hundred flowering plants.Ref.:(1) T.

Aconitum angustifolium Bernh. ex Rchb.Family: Ranunculaceae Juss.EN: Narrow lived aconite (?), DE: Schmalblttriger EisenhutSlo.: ozkolistna preobjeda Dat.: July 31. 2006Lat.: 46.20824 Long.: 13.54626 (WGS84)Code: Bot_0141/2006_DSC2565Picture file names: from Aconitum-angustifolium_raw_10 to Aconitum- angustifolium_raw_15.Habitat: grassland, pasture, next to and abandoned dirt road; moderately inclined mountain slope, southwest aspect; warm, sunny place; calcareous ground; elevation 1.400 m (4.600 feet); average precipitations ~ 2.800 mm/year, average temperature 4 - 6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: East of Mt. Matajur, 1.643 m (5.387 feet), next to the old forest road from village Livek, altitude 1.400 m (4.600 feet), Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Udine region, Italy EC. Comment: (relates to the album Aconitum angustifolium):Aconitum angustifolium is a beautiful, statuesque, up to 1.3 m tall plant, which is difficult to oversee. But it is quite scattered, not really common. It is a narrow endemic, which can be admired in free nature only in montane and subalpine elevations in some parts of the Julian Alps. Most records are from Slovenian part of them (mostly Soa valley and around locus classicus near Bohinj lake) and a few are known from Friuli region in northeast Italy. Aconitum angustifolium is one of the most poisonous plants known, full of powerful alkaloids and therefore very interesting for pharma industry. It is hexaploid. It is believed that its origin was a hybrid between more common tetraploid Aconitum tauricum and (most probably) diploid Aconitum paniculatum (Ref.:2).Ref.(1) A.
