Glad to find out about the genus, one of the many fragments being chipped off of Senecio, it appears.Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-40283751634919220702017-12-10T16:20:45.827-08:002017-12-10T16:20:45.827-08:00I spent about 2 hours researching that mystery Com...I spent about 2 hours researching that mystery Compositae. I agree with the possibility of Tephroseris (not necessarily with resedifolia), there are LOTS of these, some real beauties too, and they float between Senecio, Tephroseris, and Packera. The Virtual Flora of Mongolia lists Senecio resedifolia but just one not so great photo. Depending on how long the pubescence lingers on the spring foliage, can lead to different ID opinions depending on what state the foliage is in, T. resedifolia pics I did find show foliage that looks nearly glabrous. My vote is for T. pricei, which is in Flora of Mongolia. <br />http://www.plantarium.ru/page/image/id/500386.htmlMark McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234156968275965223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-91146695985471359302017-12-10T14:35:33.420-08:002017-12-10T14:35:33.420-08:00Bingo!

Mike--it does seem to be close to the only picture of Tephroseris resedifolia on the web, which was photographed in the Altai: a synonym of Packera heterophylla which also grows in the Western himisphere: but when I looked at those they were very different. It's a gem whatever it may be!Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-41005981660707361142017-12-09T17:58:55.705-08:002017-12-09T17:58:55.705-08:00Hi Panayoti the mystery plant might be a Tephroser...Hi Panayoti the mystery plant might be a Tephroseris.<br />kintgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388919666611818768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134648325048818615.post-18272593774894312682017-12-09T12:11:52.871-08:002017-12-09T12:11:52.871-08:00Mind boggling all of this is so other worldly.
