View towards the east where first elements of the completely different flora of the Pannonian region occur.

Potentilla clusiana, an eastern alpine species that looks very similar to Potentilla nitida from the Dolomites.

Campanula alpina, also a species with an eastern alpine distribution.

How does the eastern distribution limit of #plants in the European #Alps look like? The #Schneeberg 🏔️ (2076 m) in #Austria near #Vienna is a great place to find out! The often isolated occurrences must have been better connected to the other populations in the past.

🔉Happy to share our new publication and global data compilation #GenDivRange covering population genetic diversity of 19,173 geo-referenced populations and 1,109 species. A big thank to Katalin Csilléry, who initiated and led this project, and to all colleagues. (1/2)

#Pulsatilla #vernalis, lady of the snows❄️, last weekend in the 🇨🇭Alps above treeline at c. 2250m🏔️. Early flowering in alpine spring with overwintering leaves next to Crocus albiflorus and #Ranunculus #kuepferi, and phenologically variable from early flowering to #postfloral #elongation.

80 years after #WW2 I stumbled across #Parietaria #pensylvanica in #Berlin. Thought to be escaped from botanical garden after bombings (or brought by 🇺🇸🪖?) it’s now well established on this #urbanbiodiversity #island 🏝️ but hasn't spread much further! #bioinvasions floraweb.de/php/artenhom...
