Swiss wildflower ID

[fermi de Sousa]

Help!
Jill Weatherhead is doing a talk at our group this Saturday and she sent me some pics to ID - but I'll need help!
She has put some suggestions for the genus but needs the specific name where possible.
I thought the geum was possibly a potentilla; any help would be appreciated!
cheers

The one labelled as Hedysarum looks a lot like Onobrychis.

Thanks, Lori, it looks like it's Onobrychis viciifolia!

Fermi - some ideas, will do better with my Flora Helvetica when at home.

Prunella = Thymus ?serphyllum
7803 = Scabiosa ?
7983 & pink pulsatilla = Pulsatilla vernalis - often very pink on petal reverse
Geum = likely potentilla but tricky without leaves
Helianthemum = probably nummularium from what we can see of leaves but difficult to tell size.
Geranium .... pratense or sylvaticum but maybe you'd got that far already!

Good luck - I'll check back later and refine these if someone else has not already done so.

Great!   Thought that was very likely (O. vicifolia is a common escape from forage crops in the foothills here) but hesitated to say, not being overly familiar with other Onobrychis species.

Thanks for your help as well, Tony.
I'll send Jill the names so she can update her list.

Tony is correct. The Geranium is G. sylvaticum

[fermi de Sousa]

Tony is correct. The Geranium is G. sylvaticum

Thanks, Mark. That's both pictures?

A veronica which is still in need of a name:

Yes to Geranium sylvaticum for both ... I looked in my F H  last night.  Will try and find the veronica tonight.

[hadacekf]

It is Veronica urticifolia.

FH to the rescue - no need for my Flora Helvetica as Franz Hadacek has the answer

[fermi de Sousa]

Thank you, Franz and Tony.
Jill just sent me another one which is a good shot of the mountains but not so good of the plant in the foreground! Is it a prunella?

Looks more like Pedicularis.  Not sure the picture is good enough to tell the species, although Franz probably can

fermi,
Diana is right, I think it is Pedicularis recutita.
