Campanula moravica (Spitzn.) Kovanda

Flora Europaea perennial, H, 2n=68, tetraploid xeric to mesoxeric, from the forest-steppe to lower nemoral belt Pannonian-western Dacian Festucetalia valesiacae R34 habitats         This is a more robust Central European 'variant' of Campanula rotundifolia with a thick ligneous rhizome. However the real relationship with the named species is not yet very clear. In Romania it is present only in the western half of the country. Between Dumbraveni and Tarnaveni, September 2009 dr.
