Abstract

On Samarske stijene (Velika Kapela, Gorski kotar, Croatia), within the Nature Reserve, at the altitude of 1200–1300 m a.s., grows a peculiar taxon of Campanula in the cliff chasmophyte vegetation of the alliance Micromerion croaticae Ht (order Potentilletalia caulescentis Br.-Bl.). Although the plant is similar to Campanula pyramidalis in terms of habitat, and up to 70 cm tall, morphological and ecological data suggest the possibility of a new taxon within C. pyramidalis aggregate. According to the mountain massif of Velika Kapela where it grows, we propose the name of Campanula kapelae.
