Sparsely distributed in
the area; flowers from May to June in grassy places from 250 to 850m. Locally abundant near Fossombrone, sporadic in hillside meadows from M.
Nerone to Acquapartita, and M. Catria. A single plant was found flowering in my garden
in Urbino in 1995. In the past recorded by Federici/Serpieri (1868),
by Cengia-Sambo (1929), and by Brilli-Cattarini (1957). Luciano Poggiani
records it also for Fano near the river Metauro (1998).
I found a handsome group
flowering near the Passo del Furlo on 11 May 2010. Domenico
Rossi found a further 6 plants at the same site the following day.
On 25 May 2010 I found a
single plant in Urbino, just outside the city's walls. As it
grew in a rather conspicous place, I rightly feared for its
destiny: it was picked the followed day and I found the
discarded spike a few metres further. The spike had not yet
withered and I managed to take a picture of it (see below).
2013:
the group of plants near the Passo del Furlo is flowering
abundantly again ithis year. An interesting new find this year
is that of a plant growing on the industrial estate Bellocchi
near Fano (16 May 2013).
