Eritrichium?
« on: September 14, 2019, 04:32:54 PM »
Photographed in the month of June in Tien Shan at 3600-3700 feet metres (. I think it is a very hairy form of Eritrichium tianschanicum but references state that species doesn't go beyond 3000metres. Would welcome confirmation.

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

In Tian Shan I saw this at 3800 meters. I think it should be 3600-3700 meters, not feet.

Vojtech Holubec and David Horak write in their excellent book The Tian Shan and its Flowers
about the habitat of Eritrichium tianschanicum: Rock crevices, rocky river deposits, grassland,
moraines, from subalpine to alpine zone, 2500 - 3000m.
