Linaria alpina
Linaria alpina, the alpine toadflax, is a purple-flowered plant native to mountainous areas of southern and central Europe. It belongs to the family Plantaginaceae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus, and given its current name by Philip Miller.
It is found in many mountain ranges in southern and central Europe ranging from Spain to Romania between 1,500 and 3,800 metres, and in valleys with altitudes of up to 4,200 m. They inhabit the alpine and nival vegetation levels, and partially the subalpine, montane, and hilly levels.
