Title: What kind of a Brassicaceae is this?
Post by: t5247rb on July 23, 2013, 10:11:58 PM

Hello all, it's summer time and I'm going through the pics I took on my holiday to identify them. This one's giving me a bit of a problem.  Any ideas?

It was found in an Alpine setting (northern Italian alps) in early June.

Some kind of (probably) annual Draba maybe? or a cress?

Looks like Arabis ciliata

after searching the net Arabis ciliata does seem like a good match to me.  Thanks much!
