Within its territory, a number of 11 wildlife reserves differentiate, among which: Domogled Reservation, Corcoaia Gorges, Stan\u2019s Peak, Coronini-Bedina etc.<\/p>\n

Edraianthus graminifolius <\/em><\/strong>ssp.<\/strong> kitaibelii <\/em><\/strong>is a xero-mesophilic species, which grows as a perennial herbaceous plant. The plants are low and their stems can range from 1 cm to 20 cm. The leaves are alternately arranged on the stem, and the lower ones are mainly petiolate. The flowers, blue-violet, are individually grouped, bell-shaped and hermaphrodite. Because of the limited area where it can be found, this species is protected.<\/p>\n
