Kvast-Høgeurt (Pilosella cymosa var. cymosa) foto

The character of the clothing of long hairs and relatively short glandular hairs on top of the stem, on the peduncles and phyllaries seperates this species from similar danish Pilosella species. Often the hairclothing of the phyllaries becomes very dense, almost furlike. The light coloured styles is also an important character.
In Denmark very rare. Spontaneously on dry slopes near the sea, but also introduced with grass-seed and naturalised on inland sites. Found at Fyn, near Århus, at Hjelm, Æbelø, Nexelø, Stevns Klint and near København and Hobro.

30,0 cm-90,0 cm
