A typical steppe
xeric-mesoxeric species of the section Oxynepeta which is present in the EU only in
Transylvania and north-eastern Bulgaria. A lot of the
Transylvanian populations mentioned in the XIXth or XXth centuries
were not recovered and are probably extinct. Only six seemingly
still survive in the region and in the whole country
The
population from Cluj-Napoca Sfantu Gheorghe Hill
The
population from Valea Florilor - Gorganu Hill
The
population from Zau de Campie - Bota Mare Hill
The
populations fom Frata - Parului Hill and Tertiu Face
The
population from Mihesu de Campie - Mare Hill
The
population from Saulita - Saulita's Cliff
The population of the species from Suatu -
Banffy Hill (inside the natural reservation Suatu I) is of an
artificial nature and as the former ranger of the reservation mr.
Frateanu told us it was done by him by using seeds collected by
Alexandru Borza in the period between the two world wars.
Unfortunately the artificial nature of this population was not
published anywhere and it was mentioned in detail also in a study by
Resmerita (1971).
