Hladnik's Scopolia (Scopolia carniolica f. hladnikiana)

As far back as 1550, a plant was found on Sabotin above Solkan by Nova Gorica, which was similar to the poisonous deadly nightshade. Much later, it was named after the famous Idrian physician and natural historian, Janez Anton Scopoli, and the former province of Carniola. It is also known in Slovene as "Carniolan nightshade", but its Latin name is Scopolia carniolica. It is up to 60 cm high, the drooping bell-shaped flowers are brown on the outside, and yellowish green on the interior. It grows in beech forests in Slovenia and in damp gorges. It is also distributed in central and south-eastern Europe, but has its closest relative only in Asia.

Extremely rare and only Slovene, it has the shape of the Carniolan Scopolia, which the botanist, Franc Hladnik, found in the forests around Turjak and it was later christened after him: Hladnik's Scopolia. It is distinguished from the Carniolan Scopolia by the colour of the flowers, which have a greenish yellow colour both on the outside and inside. There are only a few localities: Kolovec by Kamnik, below Lubnik by Škofja Loka, in Posočje in the Idrija valley and above Pekel by Borovnica.

It is classified as rare in the Red List of threatened plant species, since it is endemic here and has its birthplace or classical locality at Turjak. The soft yellow flowers of Hladnik's Scopolia are a memorial to J.A. Scopoli and F. Hladnik, two local botanists, and the former province of Carniola.
