It is parasitic on the roots of hazel and alder, occasionally on beech, in shady places such as hedge sides. It consists of a branched whitish underground stem closely covered with thick, fleshy, colourless leaves, which are bent over so as to hide under the surface; irregular cavities communicating with the exterior are formed in the thickness of the leaf. The only portions that appear above ground in April to May are the short flower-bearing shoots, which bear a spike of two-lipped dull purple flowers. The scales which represent the leaves also secrete water, which escapes and softens the ground around the plant. externally they immediately reveal their heterotrophic character by their lack of chlorophyll and the reduction of their leaf area.
hahahah a mene sram što ne znam puno vrsta van Europe :D ma ne brini se za to, imaš ti veliko znanje (koliko primjetih) a još više volje za znanjem! :D traženje ID mi je zakon...najbolji dio ove stranice :D
Iskreno, mene malo sram šta ne znam neke najosnovnije ili bar najučestalije vrste, pogotovo bilja, a npr. znam za Welwitschia-u i slične ludosti :D Drago mi je da te veseli, mislim mene inače baš taj dio identifikacije najviše veseli :)
neeeeee, ni slučajno, s obzirom da nisi biolog, već danima ti se divim! :D nego me razveseli to što mogu tražiti vrstu po svojim knjigama i flori...i pomalo upoznajem floru ostatka hrvatske a ne samo dalmacije i velebita...sorry, stvarno nisam mislila ništa drugo...
