[6][8] Hladnikia pastinacifolia resembles well-known celery (Apium graveolens), but has thicker foliage and shorter leaf stems.

[4] After successful pollination seeds that don't have any special dispersal adaptation develop between the end of August and into September.

[6] As the plant species is not a habitat specialist its growing areas are various; Hladnikia pastinacifolia was found on stony grasslands, rock crevices and screes.

[8] Even though its population trend is labeled as stable by IUCN Red list, it has data deficient (DD) conservation status.

[9][1] Among mentioned threats are human intrusions and disturbance (such as recreational activities) as well as natural system modifications.
