\u00cen \u021bara noastr\u0103 poate fi \u00eent\u00e2lnit\u0103 \u00een Mun\u021bii Maramure\u0219ului, Mun\u021bii Rodnei, Obcinele Bucovinei, masivele Rar\u0103u, Ceahl\u0103u, Ciuca\u0219, Bucegi, F\u0103g\u0103ra\u0219, Cozia \u0219i Retezat. Botanistul rom\u00e2n, Alexandru Borza a f\u0103cut, pentru prima oar\u0103 \u00een 1911, un studiu am\u0103nun\u021bit al florii de col\u021b, el fiind cel c\u0103ruia i se datoreaz\u0103 declararea acesteia ca ‘monument al naturii’.<\/p>\n
Tr\u0103s\u0103turile \u0219i aspectul unic al florii au inspirat multe nume, precum Wollblume (floarea de l\u00e2n\u0103) dat\u0103 de naturalistul elve\u021bian Konrad Gessner \u00een secolul al XVI-lea sau Klein L\u00f6wenfuss (‘piciorul de leu mic’), \u00e9toile du glacier (steaua ghe\u021barului), \u00e9toile d’argent (steaua de argint), immortelle des Alpes (floarea ve\u0219nic\u0103 a Alpilor), denumiri folosite de diver\u0219i botani\u0219ti \u0219i biologi pentru a descrie floarea. Potrivit ‘Dic\u021bionarului de sinonime’, pentru floarea-reginei (Leontopodium alpinum) exist\u0103 \u0219i urm\u0103toarele denumiri \u00een limba rom\u00e2n\u0103: albumeal\u0103, albumi\u021b\u0103, floare de col\u021b, edelvais, stelu\u021b\u0103, floarea-doamnei.<\/p>\n
Este o floare de munte apar\u021bin\u00e2nd familiei Asteraceae, din care fac parte margaretele \u0219i floarea soarelui. O floare delicat\u0103, cu petale albe acoperite de peri\u0219ori mici, catifela\u021bi, argintii, care \u00eei confer\u0103 o not\u0103 aparte de ging\u0103\u0219ie \u0219i frumuse\u021be, este o plant\u0103 deosebit de rar\u0103 \u0219i cre\u0219te \u00een mun\u021bi calcaro\u0219i, pe paji\u0219tile de pe versan\u021bi abrup\u021bi \u0219i \u00eensori\u021bi sau pe st\u00e2nci, \u00een zonele st\u00e2ncoase aflate la o altitudine situat\u0103 \u00eentre 1.800 \u0219i 3.000 de metri, potrivit ‘Enciclopediei de etnobotanic\u0103 rom\u00e2neasc\u0103’ de Valer Butur\u0103 (Editura \u0218tiin\u021bific\u0103 \u0219i Enciclopedic\u0103, 1979).<\/p>\n
Floarea reginei, originar\u0103 din stepele Asiei, se g\u0103se\u0219te zone muntoase din Abruzzi, Alpi, Balcani, Carpa\u021bi, Pirinei, dar \u0219i din Asia Central\u0103 \u0219i de Est p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een Himalaya. Este o specie de plante erbacee, peren\u0103, care, la fel ca \u0219i rudele ei, este considerat\u0103 drept o floare. \u00cen fapt, este o inflorescen\u021b\u0103, adic\u0103 un buchet \u00eentreg de floricele foarte mici, numeroase (\u00eentre 50 p\u00e2n\u0103 la 500 de flori mici) \u0219i foarte \u00eenghesuite, grupate \u00een dou\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la 12 capete de flori galbene (capitula), \u00eenconjurate de cinci p\u00e2n\u0103 la 15 frunze albe catifelate (bractee) aranjate \u00een form\u0103 de stea. \u00centreaga plant\u0103 \u0219i frunzele din jurul inflorescen\u021bei sunt acoperite de peri l\u00e2no\u0219i albi care au rolul de a o proteja \u00eempotriva frigului, a usc\u0103ciunii \u0219i a radia\u021biei ultraviolete.<\/p>\n
Planta este l\u00e2nat-tomentoas\u0103, \u00eenalt\u0103 de 5-20 cm, cu inflorescen\u021be compuse din capitule, \u00eenconjurate de numeroase bractee lungi, alb – argintii, l\u00e2nos – p\u0103roase. Dac\u0103 \u00een Rom\u00e2nia planta ajunge doar p\u00e2n\u0103 la \u00een\u0103l\u021bimea de maximum 20 cm, ea poate cre\u0219te \u00een alte \u021b\u0103ri p\u00e2n\u0103 la 50-80 cm. Are \u00een p\u0103m\u00e2nt un rizom cilindric, acoperit cu resturi de frunze negre-brune, potrivit volumului ‘Flora mic\u0103 ilustrat\u0103 a Rom\u00e2niei’ (autori I. Prodan, Al. Buia, Bucure\u0219ti, 1966). La suprafa\u021ba p\u0103m\u00e2ntului formeaz\u0103 o rozet\u0103 de frunze, din mijlocul c\u0103rora se ridic\u0103 tulpina ce poart\u0103 o inflorescen\u021b\u0103 numit\u0103 Calatidiu, de forma unui disc, \u00een care sunt grupate florile. \u00cenflore\u0219te vara, \u00een iulie-august.<\/p>\n
