Bellardia trixago (L.) All., syn.: Bartsia trixago L., Trixago apula Steven, Rhinanthus versicolor Willd.,
Family: Orobanchaceae
EN: Trixago Bartsia, Mediterranean Lineseed, DE: Bunte Bellardie
Slo.: no name; CR: sredozemna belardija, šarena zornica

Dat.: May 26. 2012
Lat.: 44,78542 Long.: 13,91214 WGS84
Code: Bot_0623/2012_DSC3843

Habitat: dry grassland; flat terrain, calcareous, skeletal ground; open, sunny place; elevation 30 m (100 feet); average precipitations 900 mm/year, average temperature 12-14 deg C, Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region.

Substratum: soil.

Place: Croatia, Istria, Kamenjak peninsula, about 300 m west of Uvala Školjič.

Comment about the Flick album Bellardia trixago: The taxonomic history of Bellardia trixago is intriguing. The plant has not only changed its genus but also its family over time. It was once classified in the fingerworth family, Scrophulariaceae, but was later reclassified into the broomrape family, Orobanchaceae. The genus Bellardia is monotypic, encompassing a single species—trixago. The plant is semi-parasitic.

The native range of this species extends from Macaronesia through the Mediterranean basin to Iran and Kenya. It has been introduced to Germany and the USA, where it has become invasive in certain areas. The species is relatively rare and does not grow in Slovenia. However, it is more commonly found on the outer, southeastern Adriatic islands, such as Vis and Biševo, and at the extreme southern tip of the Istria peninsula. The entire plant is densely covered with glandular hairs, making it sticky. The stem leaves in the lower part differ significantly in shape from the upper supporting leaves in the inflorescence. The flowers are typically white with a reddish upper lip, although there are known individuals with completely white flowers and those that produce entirely yellow flowers.
