Adaptive characteristics of the endemic species Satureja horvatii Šilić (Lamiaceae) in mountain-mediterranean and mediterranean habitats

Morphoanatomical analysis in two popoulations of Satureja horvatii from habitats of different altitudes in the Orjen-Lovćen mountain massif (Montenegro, Yugoslavia) disclosed important adaptive differences and ecological plasticity of this local endemic species. The Satureja horvatii population growing on Mt. Orjen (1540 m) comprises mesoxerophytes, while the population from the foothills of Mt. Lovćen (280 m) is of a typical xerophytic type, as demonstrated by the ecoanatomical study of their leaves.

Abstract Morphoanatomical analysis in two popoulations of Satureja horvatii from habitats of different altitudes in the Orjen-Lovcen mountain massif (Montenegro, Yugoslavia) disclosed important adaptive differences and ecological plasticity of this local endemic species. The Satureja horvatii population growing on Mt. Orjen (1540 m) comprises mesoxerophytes, while the population from the foothills of Mt.
