 Composites (continuation). 



Family Compositae. 



Fig. 1. Hairy groundsel. The tongue- 

 shaped and tubulär flowerets are of an 

 orange yellow and form a beautiful contrast 

 to the white woolly für of the pinnatedly 

 split leaves. 



On pastures, snowy hoUows, dry beds 

 of mould, rock-debris, from about 1800 to 

 3000 m. Only on the West- and central 

 Alps (the Vallais, Ticino, Bernese Ober- 

 land, Uri). 



Fig. 2. Carnlol groundsel. Less grey 

 and with broader, less cut leaves, other- 

 wise very much resembling the preceding 

 species, whose place it takes in the E. 

 part of our Alps (espec. the Grissons). 



On pastures, turf, rocky debris, from 

 aboxit 1900—3100 m. 



Fig. 3. Leopard's-bane groundsel. Recog- 

 nised by its thick leathery leaves, which 

 are somewhat rolled back and which are 

 more or less whitish from adhering hairs. 



Rocky debris, stripes of turf, grassy 

 stony slopes, from about 1400 — 2670 m. 



,Fig. 4. Heart-Ieaved groundsel. Large 

 luxuriant plants with heartshaped leaves 

 and attaining a height of a metre. It forms 

 a widely distributed portion of the so called 

 „Lägerflora" (camp-flora) which is much 

 hated by the herdsmen. This „Lägerflora" 

 comes on the overdunged soll round the 

 herdsman's hut and on the resfing places 

 of the cattle. It consists of high luxuriant 

 plants which are never touched by the 

 cattle (Alpine Docks, poisonous Monkshood, 

 Netxles). Such „Läger" should be broken up, 

 hedged round and sown with good herbs. 



Fig. 5. Alpine Ox-eye. Always with a 

 single-headed, few-flowered stem of 3—10 

 cm. hight; the radical leaves are pinnatedly 

 split, in a high-alpine variety (var. minimum 

 Vill.) fiirily haired, otherwise naked. 



Beds of mould, slopes of stones, poor 

 pastures, belts of turf, from 1800 — 3600 m.
