Jurinea pinnata



Jurinea pinnata

Escobilla
 This plant grows in central and southern Spain above an altitude of 850 metres. The plant grows from 5-20cms tall  on calcareous soils. I found an article saying that it only grows on Dolomite or Gypsum soils. It flowersin June and July. This photograph was taken at Sierra de las Nieves. It is a rare species also found in Grazalema.
