Bucegi, Busteni

I got this plant

S. marmoreum ex Bucegi - Busteni vodopad

So, in this name there are three thing to explan: Bucegi, Busteni and vodopad.

Bucegi is a mountain range in central Romania, south of town Brasov.

Romanian name: Munţii Bucegi
Hungarian name: Bucsecs-hegység

Bucegi is a part of Charpatian mountains.

Busteni or Buşteni is a small mountain town in the valley of river Prahova It is located at the bottom of the Bucegi mountains, that have a maximum altitude of 2505 m, while Busteni has an everage altitude of 900 m. Busteni is a turistic place.

vodopad - this word means cascade or waterfall in Romanian language.

And here we go - mistary solved - Urlatoarea Waterfall:

Busteni - I have been there, but I have not seen houselleks near Urlatoarea Waterfall. I think, the Semps are growing in down in the valley. Then you can find Semps in the mountains upstairs - on the second (western range), or in the southern part of the mountains. There are no Semps on first range and no Semps on the cliffs.

Jezour, thank you for explaning and the beautiful photos!!!

So S. marmoreum ex Bucegi - Busteni vodopad is most probably just another one of my semps with fairly uncorrect habitat name!

Correct it would be S. marmoreum ex Bucegi - Busteni.

There are some habitats of S. marmoreum in Bucegi. The names are older.

the trail Busteni - waterfall Urlatoarea
the trail Busteni - Cabana Piatra Arsa - Babele - Varful Omu
the trail Varful Omu - Cross Caraiman
The Semps do not grow about 100 metres from the trail from both sides (I have explored that).

Oh, you must have spent a month there to find out all that! You're an expert!!!

I am no expert - authors of these datas are Valentin BÂRCĂ and Marilena NICULAE.

I heard of Valentin BÂRCĂ before - he is Romanian, right? Well, you certainly knew where to look for the datas! After all, that's all that counts!

Right - he is Romanian. Look at your email (the email from this forum), I have sent you this document to you.

Oh, thank you so much!!!

This guys ain't serious - I envy them their knowledge!!! The more I read the more I know I do not know a lot about semps!
