Hacquetia epipactis
The only species of its genus, it is a rhizomatous, clump-forming herbaceous perennial, growing to only about 5 – 10 cm in height, with glossy pale green leaves which only fully develop after flowering. The flowers, appearing late winter and early spring, consist of multiple tiny yellow florets framed by lime green bracts, and carried in dense spherical umbels 4 cm in diameter.
Native to moist, shady woodland habitats in Europe. This one was spotted on the mountain Medvednica (about 1 000 m of altitude).
bok, injica, sorry, ali ime vrste nije točno, sigurna sam da je ovo Hacquetia epipactis (De Candolle), ili na hr volujsko oko :-)
Yeah I know, but this was about a year ago when this group has a different name, so I find it a bit hard to go through all my spotting and correct it but I'm trying too!
