Flora Europaea

the original Linnean specimen

perennial, H

mesic meadow-steppe grassland species from the forest-steppe; can support slightly saline terrains

Pontic-Caucasian-Anatolian. The species is missing from the Balkans. The populations from Buzau county, Romania, are the western most in the whole range of the species. The fact was not yet acknowledged in Flora Europaea database though the species was described and illustrated in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Romanicae vol. X (1966).

Fraxino pallisae-Quercetum pedunculiflorae; the species is a facultative mesohalophyle one; it is related to the downy ash forest-steppe woodlands and its a coincidence that the terrains around are slightly saline; I succeeded in cultivating the plant in my garden (see the second set of photos to the right) on totally non -saline soils
