Androsace ID needed.
« on: September 08, 2019, 11:17:38 AM »
Hi,
I have received this plant under the name Androsace squarrosula, however I feel the rosettes and form and too dissimilar to be A.squarrosula. The only possible plant in D.Lowes Androsace book is Androsace wulfeniana. It has virtually no hairs on the rosette and seems quite fleshy.
Does anyone know what it could be?

Ahh, a reminder  of  what a  loss the  passing  of  Duncan Lowe  and  David  Mowle  is to us in the  alpine  world.

I think your  reasoning  is  along the  right  lines, Alex, but  perhaps  you  might contact  Josef Lemmens ( he  of  Androsace  World   http://www.alpines.be/androsaceworld/fotogallerij/photogallery.htm  ) to see what his  opinion is?   
 His  email is    jef.maggy@gmail.com
