I have Facebook contacted Panayoti, will report back on what species he thinks that Mt. Evans one is... several species grow up there.

 Very up to date of you, McMark.... I was satisfied with an email!  ;D (Since I'm fresh out of carrier pigeons)

Thought it might be the quickest way to get to PK, as he's a FB fanatic. He hasn't responded to my query yet, he might have missed it, although we "facebooked" on some other threads in the interim.

Another draba. I bought this one, named as Draba cappadocica. I'm not sure of it.

Hi,

Now that we are into Drabas, I have a Draba, acquired 20 years ago but I don't know the name. I personally think it's Draba brunifolia ssp. olympica, but I'm not sure. Any Draba experts ?

Hi Alpinelover,

According to me your Draba looks more like Draba aizoides, it's certainly not Draba cappadocica. Draba cappadocica has more a grey leaf. ;)

I have a plant labelled D. sphaerallea and a search has also uncovered reference to D. sphaeralea and D. sphaeralcea but I can find no valid reference to any of these. Are they all corruptions of D. sphaeroides? I will get a picture when the flowers open if 1) the caterpillar I haven't found yet leaves any flower stems intact and 2) I'm physically capable of holding a camera in two hands when they open (don't ask!). It was going to be my first show plant of the year till the caterpillar got it >:(

 A mis-written Draba sphaerula perhaps?
Caterpillars never care what the plant is, do they?... only that you want to preserve it and they want to eat it.  :'(
