The flower detail pages

These pages hold basic information about the species and also act as a link to further, more specialist repositories of knowledge. Most of these have a particular slant such as medicinal uses.

The main difference is that they are not orientated around the theme of identifying plants that one finds when walking in the Pyrenees

This page is an example of what the detail pages might look like:

Arnica Montana

 

Where does it grow ?

It is hardy to zone 6 and is not frost tender. It is in flower in July. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Bees, flies, Lepidoptera (Moths & Butterflies). The plant is self-fertile.
The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, requires well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very acid soil. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It requires moist soil.

Detailed information on medicinal uses including some that are more tenuous than others can be found at the Plants For A Future website

 

One must not of course forget the blessed Uncle Wikipedia which has information on distribution and habitat

 

There is also an pdf document produced by the WWF taking more of a biodiversity angle
