I think I have found it. Tofieldia calyculata. See
http://rostliny.nikde.cz/view.php?ci...nku=2004071302. The specimen shown
is more flourishing than mine, but it seems unmistakeable. The apical flower
that I referred to, must be two, on behind the other.

What do you think?

Peter,
I have problems interpreting what can be seen near the apex of the
inflorescence in
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...2798196&size=o ,
but the flower further down, with its apex (almost) pointing to the
viewer, surely looks trimerous. Wouldn't you agree?

Thanks Jan, but I can definitely count 10 stamens on the apical corolla
and more than 6 tepals (but I cannot see 10 tepals). The plant is very
small - each corolla is less that 5mm across. I cannot recall the leaf
structure.

Does anyone
disagree or agree that it is a saxifrage? Seems to have 10 stamens,
but it looks like 3 styles each on a free carpel.
As far as I can tell from
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...2798196&size=o
it has 6 stamens and 6 tepals. So check out monocots.

The Italian job is a real puzzle. I can find nothing like it on Google
Images under any of the suggested families.

PLEASE - could people have another look at my posts of 11/08/2006.
Surely someone out there can help!

Thanks
