Paeonia oreogeton S. Moore, or mountain peony, is found in nature less often. People put in danger by this delicate decorative flower. But it would seem that bad in the thirst of mankind to the contemplation of beauty? But many can't just watch, they need to be sure to gather a huge bouquet vytoptov in this whole meadow. And they are not embarrassed that an hour later they throw the collected glory, well, not to drag the home wilted flowers. And then I have to tell you that the mountain Peony-plant of the red book. But there is hope that humanity will realize that to be a king of nature – it means to be responsible for everything living and nonliving around.
The Peony (Paeonia) – a General name given to a genus of perennial herbaceous plants. A family United not only herbs, but shrubs and deciduous, we are talking about tree peonies. Approximately 45 known species of this plant. All of them constitute one family under the name of Peony (Paeoniaceae). To separation into a separate family, the Peony plants referred to the family Ranunculaceae.
In the scientific community still debates on the Botanical characteristics of pions. It is believed that there are from 40 to 47 of natural forms (among which is the mountain peony, the plant of the red book, the description of which is given in more detail). The debate about how many species grow on the territory of the former Soviet Union. According to various sources it is 14 or 16.
Just note that this classification is more suitable for the garden, not wild species peonies. But still allow it is that you understand the difference in the shape of flowers. Especially that wild peonies became the starting point of all garden varieties.

The Classification of all varieties of peonies includes indicators of the origin and shape of the flower. On the grounds that the peonies are divided into 5 groups:
A More common classification of pions was proposed by the biologist Kemularia-Natadze. Wild species according to this classification is divided into 5 sections:
Now, after a General information about peonies and their classification, it's time to talk more about the endangered Peony mountain. The red book (the flower below) annually replenished with new species of flowers and plants that need special protection.
Peony mountain within Russia occupies a vast territory. It is found in the Khabarovsk region near the city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Primorsky Krai, in the vicinity of Vladivostok and in Khasan, Shkotovsky and Tehincom areas.

Distribution list of plants you can add site Nevelsk, Poronaysk, Kholmsk and Tomari districts. This kind of wild peonies found on the Islands of Shikotan, Iturup.
Distribution outside Russia includes China, Korean Peninsula, Japan.
We are Talking about the section of biology which studies the combined elements of botany, geography and environmental factors. Science studies a set of plant communities and the dynamics of their development.
The Mountain peony prefers mixed forests with coniferous and deciduous vegetation, and deciduous forests. It grows on the gentle slopes of the hills or in the shadyplaces along the river banks.
For type characterized by a single diffuse growth. Sometimes there are small groups of mountain peonies. Carpeted fields and extensive thickets of mountain peony forms.
We Can say that, looks like a peony, are all. But now you know that in this genus many different species that are prominent features. So imagine how it looks like the peony mountain. Description of the appearance will not take much time.
This kind of peonies refers to katekorii plants, the rhizome of which extends horizontally. Stem height can vary from 30 cm to 60 cm. the stem is solitary, erect and somewhat ribbed. Along the edges of the visible strip of purple anthocyanin pigment. Such stems are called simple. At the base of the stem has several large epithelial scales. Their size is about 4 cm, and the color-reddish-purple.
The mountain peony Leaves thrice Ternate. The leaf blade is somewhat rounded, width in cross-section ranges from 18 to 28 cm by Considering the pion mountain, description, leaflets can be supplemented by the fact that they are oval, obovate form. Leaf entire, without incisions. The top sheet has a short sudden sharp point. The color of the plant foliage is dark green with a feathery red-purple veins.
Now it's time to tell, looks like a flower, to represent the plant more accurately. Peony mountain, a plant from the red book, blooms solitary, terminal Cup-shaped flowers. Their diameter is from 6 to 12 cm flower Rests on three dark green dense concave sepals. The petals are arranged in one row. There may be 5-6 pieces. We are talking about a simple flower, the petals which are obovate oblong. For the petals characteristic creamy-white color. Most often, the mountain peony, a photo of which can be done in the wild, it is this color. In rare cases one can find a plant of this species with pale pink flower. The edges of the petals slightly wavy. Their length is approximately 6 cm, and the width – 4 cm In the Central portion is about 60 short stamens. Their length does not exceed 2 cm on Top of the stamen is bright yellow anthers and staminal filament itself is white with a purple base. Most often in the flower pistil 1, but occasionally there may be 2-3 pieces.
The Fruit of the mountain peony, which develops after flowering, odnolistovoe. Occasionally, you may meet 2-3 leaflet. The length of the fruit to 6 cm, the leaflet glabrous, has a greenish-purple color. Reveals curved, inside are dark seeds. Their number from 4 to 8 pieces furthermore, inside can be a crimson unfertilized beginnings of seeds of the same size.
The Mountain peony, photo, and description which are available in this article begins to bloom in late spring, may-month. Ripening takes place in August.
Mountain peonies suffer from unsustainable relationship of man to nature. That people mindlessly pluck the flowers in the woods, we have already spoken. But a plant on the brink of survival not only by this factor. The gardeners dig up the rhizomes to plant a beautiful flower in home gardens. The forest in which mountain peony feels best, are subjected to cutting. Often this illegal felling, poaching, pursuing only personal gain. In this case, on the preservation of herbaceous vegetation people don't think at all.
Damage to a number of mountain peony cause forest fires, which often arise by the negligence of the person. In addition, a major limiting factor is agricultural development that strengthens the recreational load on forest. This means that human impact can lead to a slight change in the forest landscape, and to complete degradation of the ecosystem, which is a disaster for nature.
We have said many times that the mountain peony-plant of the red book. The description of this species was made in 1984, and then from the red book of the USSR, it moved into the Red book of the Russian Federation.
For the protection of species organized by the PAS (protected areas). In these areas are environmental, scientific and cultural works associated with the preservation and increase in the number of mountain peony. The location of protected areas-Primorsky Krai and Sakhalin. Here there is a total ban on collecting and digging of plants.
Mountain peonies are rarely found in private households. While cultivating their vegetative means is possible. Main points of cultivation-Botanical gardens. They use a scientific approach to the introduction of endangered species. For reference: introduction – the relocation of a plant or animal beyond the natural habitats.
At the garden growing mountain peony not much difficultyaroused. In the right climate from the beginning of vegetation to flowering is about a month. The flower lasts about a week. If the flowerbed plant gave seeds, so the introduction was successful. Cultured peony mountain, a photo of which is presented above, is slightly different from the wild ancestor. It has larger flowers, leaves and a stronger root system. In some cases the plant will flower earlier than in the wild. For example, when the cultivation in the Botanical garden of the city of Tashkent mountain peonies have started blooming in may, and in mid-April.
