Achillea stricta (W.D.J. Koch) Schleich. ex Gremli Coada-soricelului purpurie

Flora Europaea perennial, H, 2n=54 Central European boreal and subalpine Mulgedio-Aconietea, Pinion mugi, Junipero-Bruckenthalion subalpine and boreal R31 habitats, subalpine and boreal R37 habitats in Romania widely spread across the Carpathians but virtually absent from the Apuseni mountains           This is a Central European element which lives on the rocks placed mainly in the boreal belts of the mountains. Of a certain beauty, it was variously treated in Romanian flora books - Achillea distans Waldst. et Kit. ssp. alpina (Rochel) Soo, A. nivalis Porcius, A. tanacetifolia auct. carp. non All. Despite these various treatments yet the status of the Carpathian populations may not be resolved.
