Achillea ochroleuca Ehrh.
|
A very interesting species of Achillea usually growing on sand dune habitats, much rarer on other substrata.Flowering unique individual photographed in my garden from Floresti, Cluj county in June 2005 obtained from a small fragment of sterile shoot collected with dr. Gh. Groza in Macin Mountains above Greci village, Tulcea county in August 2001. The small patch which belongs to this species there was found on Carboniferous clay dark shales far away from any sand dune areas. dr. Alexandru Badarau, alexandru@transsilvanica.net
In the four photographs below there is a comparison between the clear ochroleucous hue of the flowers of Achillea ochroleuca (left) and Achillea distans (right) which like other common species like Achillea millefolium and Achillea crithmifolia has pure white flowers.
