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.
Dianthus alpinus, another eastern alpine species.
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.
