.....une petite fleur : Acis fabrei
« on: April 25, 2011, 11:57:51 AM »
.....une petite fleur ....but very rare: Acis fabrei

Before some years sent me a plantfriend a article about a new Acis species :
A.fabrei – he know that I'm interested for this small genus .
After a lot of searching for any sources of these plants or seeds I have realized that it is a really rare species – also asking many plant people and specialists could not help me . This plants are endemic in the Vaucluse – only in small populations .
We make very often in the Provence our holiday and so I decide to search for this plants ....it is very difficult without any help .
Now after 4 travels and uncounted KM of walks I had luck in this year and found this rare plants in flowers .....the population was only in a quader of 10 x 5 m – I have not count the plants but I think they was maybe 100 plants .....so all of you believe me that I'm very lucky on this day .

Please don't ask me anybody about this location – it is secret !

I have tried after this found to find similar locations with these plants....without any chance !

The next related Acis is shure A.nicaense ....it is not so far ( maybe 300 km ) – this plants grows in the area of Nizza . But never was found any populations of Acis between Vaucluse and Nizza ....
A main difference is the size : A.nicaense is bigger in all parts and has mostly two flowers ....A.fabrei is a really dwarf with always only one flower .

I'm very glad to share my pictures for all members of this wonderful forum

Enjoy

I have to go one more time it seems
I visited the site 3 times
and overlooked it probably
I found lots of Narcissus asoanus ??
so one more to go 100 km more west
there must be one other rare one
more rare as Acis fabrei
found only one time
and dried as specimen

I hope you found some seeds
I am interested :)

Roland :
The area where they grow is pretty big ....and the most you can walk only by foot  ;D
There is no chance to find it by car  :-\
If you are going to the wrong time so you will have no chance ...this plants are only 3 -4 cm ....

Narcissus assoanus ( or requienii) is pretty common in the sounthern area of Vaucluse -I know a lot of places ....please wait I will post a other topic from my trip under "Travel" with many other plants...

Yes, I know this... but in your case I think the latin phrase Per ardua ad astra is better!
