French and Italian Alps 2016

[Karaba]

Crocus versicolor

Narcissus pseudonarcissus. Can anybody tell me if there are different subspecies in the alps? Flora Alpina doesn't recognize any, but do they ever? If there are different ones, does anybody know which one this might be?

Tison described the ssp. from caussols as ssp. provincialis. It is smaller and usually there is no color difference between tepal and paracorola. It has sometimes be confused with N. minor.

About Scilla italica, it's now Hyacinthoides italica. There were a lots of recent changes in name. For the french flora, I only use Tela botanica and Flora Gallica, the last french flora. You can use Siflore for the distribution

Haven't made any efforts towards finding out the name of this one. Do you know?

Looks like Senecio doronicum.

Great pictures Vincent and a lot of plants that I would like to see in nature ! I will have to contact you if I organize a trip in the following years 


about Anemone alpina : Flora gallica gather all white subspecies in alpina, differences between ssp are not clear and this need more studies.
Can't help with viola, i have the same problem 
Gentiana verna : not sure this is verna, maybe another very close species.
Androsace : this is now Androsace adfinis. A. carnea is from Pyrenées. Same with Ranunculus kuepferii, pyrenaeus is from... Pyrenees.

Thank you everybody!

Thank you very much Yvain for all the informations and corrections, it is so much appreciated! If you need any informations, feel free to contact me, I will happily give you further details.
I very much liked the Primula x polyanthas I saw, they are beautiful. I would love to see some of the other ones you mentioned.
Don't know why I thought it was Leucanthemum graminifolium. I must have picked up the name looking at your photos and forgot to look it up  Both are very lovely, I would love to try them in the garden.
About the Narcissus. Is N. minor growing in the same area as the ssp. provincialis, by that I mean the area around Caussols? By the way, I did not find this in Caussols, but on the Col de Blein, a few kilometres to the north. But I'm guessing it's still the same ssp..? 
To my mistake I thought all Androsace carnea would now be called A. adfinis.
With the Ranunculus I was confused because I read in 'Alpine Plants of Europe' by Jim Jermyn that R. pyrenaeus would be occuring in the Alps. And Flora Alpina lists R. pyrenaeus as a synonym for R. kuepferi

I've got a few more pictures to come, maybe some more to correct

The weather was very bad for the most part. But finding many treasures made up for it very much.
