!!!Wulfenia carinthiaca

Wulfenia carinthiaca, Carinthian wulfenia, commonly known in Austria 
as "Kuhtritt" ("cow´s footprint"), herbaceous Alpine 
plant belonging to the figwort family or Scrophulariaceae, has shiny 
leaves and a hairy stem of around 20-40 cm length with clusters 
of blue blossoms. In Europe, the Wulfenia carinthiaca can only be 
found on the Carinthian and Italian sides of  Gartnerkofel Mountain 
(the closest relative is W. blecicii in the Prokletije mountains in 
the borderland of Montenegro/Albania/Kosovo); discovered by Baron 
F. X. von  Wulfen in 1779.
