Field Notes

Description:

The species is tentative (please suggest alternatives if wrong). They were growing on the rocky sides of the top views of the cliffs facing the down lakes of Plitvice. The flowers were white with a purple ring in the center and they were evenly spread in the plants which looked like small size herbs of maybe up to 20 cm tall or so..

Habitat:

Plitvice Lakes, Plitvicka-Jezera National Park, Croatia.
