 Composites (continuation). 



Fig. 1. Hoary Groundsel. The tongueshaped 

 and tubular flowerets are of an orange yellow 

 and form a beautiful contrast to the white 

 woolly fur of the pinnate leaves. 



On pastures, snowy valleys, in the West- 

 and central Alps (the Valais, Ticino, Bernese 

 Oberland, Uri). 



Fig. 2. Carniol Groundsel. Less grey and 

 with broader, less cut leaves, otherwise very 

 much resembling the preceding species, whose 

 place it takes in the E. part of our Alps 

 (espec. the Grisons). 



Meadows, grass, rocky debris, from about 

 19003100 m. 



Fig. 3. Alpine Ox-eye. Always with a single 

 headed, stem nearly leafless of 3 10cm height; 

 the radical leaves are pinnatein a high-alpine 

 variety (var. minimum Vili.) thickly covered 

 with hairs otherwise naked. 



Slopes of stones, poor meadows, turf, from 

 1600-3600 m. 



Fig. 4. Musky Milfoil (Iva). Leaves spot- 

 fed and only slightly pinnate, strongly aromatic, 

 especially if rubbed. 



Alpine pastures, debris, rocks, from 1600 

 to 3400 m. Espec. on primary formations. 



Fig. 5. Black Milfoil. Distinguished from 

 the nearly allied Musky Milfoil (fig. 4) by its 

 more pinnate leaves which are not aromatic 

 and not spotted. 



Rocky debris, Alluvium of streams, pas- 

 tures, from 10004000 m. Only in the Alps. 



Fig. 6. Leopards-bane Groundsel. Recog- 

 nised by its thick leathery leaves, which are 

 somewhat rolled back and which are more or 

 less whitish from close lying hairs. The stems 

 are 2030 cm high. 



Rocky debris, grassy stony slopes, from 

 about 14002670 m. Jura, Auvergne, Alps, 

 Carpathians, Apennines, Balkan. 



Fig. 7. Villous Hawk -weed. Among the 

 numerous species of Hawk-weed this form is 

 easily recognised by the long tuftlike hairs of 

 the whole plant and by its globular flower-heads, 

 the outer involucral bracts of which are broad 

 and out standing. On sunny grassy slopes 

 grassy belts of rock from 14002700 m. 



Fig. 8. Alpine Fleabane. Closely allied to 

 the Alpine starwort but differing from it in its 

 narrow, violet petals being arranged in several 

 rows, whereas in the starwort there is only a 

 single row of broader petals. 



Meadows, rocks from 15002750 m. 

 Circumpolar region. 



Fig. 9. Alpine Aster. Could easily be mista 

 ken for the Alpine Fleabane (Erigeron alpinum), 

 the latter however has very narrow petals placed 

 in several rows. 



Meadows, rocks, from about 14003100 m. 

 On rocks descending lower, e. g. on the northern 

 bank of the Walensee down to 450 m. Arctic 

 America, temperate Asia, Caucasus, Carpathians, 

 Alps, Jura, Auvergne, Pyrenees, Balkan pen- 

 insula, Apennines. 



Fig. 10. Golden Hawk's -beard. The only 

 Alpine composite with leafless flower -stalk, 

 with only radicle leaves and with a single 

 terminal flower-head. Meadow plant both on 

 rich and poor soil from 10002750 m. An 

 excellent fodder plant. Only on the mountains 

 of central Europe (Pyrenees, Alps, Jura, Car- 

 pathians and Apennines).
