Slovenia, this plant thrives in the Karavanke Mts and in the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps. It is also present in the northern
part of the Balkans.
The plant acquired its name after the Austrian botanist Anton Josef Kerner von Marilaun, who was professor of
systematic botany in Innsbruck and in Vienna at a later date. Kerner was also the chief editor of the renowned
herbarium exsiccatum Flora exsiccata Austro-Hungarica, in which Carniolan (Slovenian) botanists also collaborated.
Papaver alpinum L. subsp. kerneri (Hayek) Fedde – Kerner-Alpine
Poppy
Rough scree slopes in our Alps are home to the silky yellow- and white-
flowered alpine poppies, anchored with powerful rhizomes among sharp
stones.
Four subspecies occur in Slovenia. The only subspecies with white flowers is
the Julian alpine poppy (Papaver alpinum subsp. ernesti-mayeri ), which is
endemic to the Julian Alps, but grows in the Abruzzi Apennines as well. The
other three subspecies are yellow-flowered.
Petkovšek alpine poppy (Papaver alpinum subsp. victoris ) is endemic to the
Bohinj-Krn group in the Julian Alps.
The Rhaetian alpine poppy (Papaver alpinum subsp. rhaeticum) grows in the
Julian Alps, with the exception of the Bohinj-Krn group, and on Mt Skuta in the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps; the gneral
distribution extends to the southern Alps, the southern parts of the Central Alps, and from the Pyrenees to the Balkans.
The third yellow-flowered subspecies of the alpine poppy is the Kerner-alpine poppy
( Papaver alpinum subsp. kerneri ), which is a perennial of the alpine belt; less often, it is also found at lower elevations
on scree slopes or on gravel along torrents. The leaves, are crowded in basal rosettes, the stems are leafless and bristly
hairy; the fruit is a characteristic multi-seed capsule which opens with tiny holes under the flat striate stigma. In
Slovenia, this plant thrives in the Karavanke Mts and in the Kamniško-Savinjske Alps. It is also present in the northern
part of the Balkans.
