It is a common plant in the Alps. It can be recognized by relatively small, up to 1.5 cm diameter, mostly white or yellowish flower heads on long stalks, upright growth and thick wooly hairs on steams, leaves and calyces. There are no leaves just below the flower heads. Individual flowers have very short, barely observable stalks only about 1 mm long. - Ref.: (1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.
