Can you repeat the posts?
They don't appear to have made it here.

They're also not in the Google groups archive.

Thank you for your responses. This is odd, because the posts appear on my
computer! I will try again here. There are 2 sets, both on 'flickr':

This set from the Tatra mountains in Poland in July:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/3685655...7594232798196/

This plant from the Pulsano Gorge in the Gargano, Italy, this April.

Any help will be appreciated - thanks

Oh! To be back in the Tatras again!!!

The first two images--it's not a Solanum. This is an odd composite,
Prenanthes purpurea (or something else very close.) What look like
petals are individual florets. Compare the photo at:
http://erick.dronnet.free.fr/belles_...s_purpurea.htm

The third one in this set, the dangly yellow, is indeed. Impatiens.
In the US we call it jewelweed. The fourth is something in the
Caryophyllaceae--your guess of a Dianthus is probably close.

The one from Italy is really interesting. Looks to me like an
umbellifer--try poking about in Eryngium.

Hi Monique

Thanks for that. Yes - the Tatras are great.

I have looked up P. purpurea and ascertained that it is found in Poland.
Comparing various images on Google to mine, I am pretty sure that you are
right.

I have tried Eryngium and can find nothing quite like my plant. With me in
Italy was a fantastic botanist (he could sort out all the 49 species of
Orchid we found there and the rest, no problem) and this was the only one to
stump him. He felt it was possibly an Asteracea. I will suggest he looks
in the Umbellifers.

I have searched all amongst Dianthus, which that one surely is, the
nearest I can get in petal shape is D. segueri, but not the markings. The
trouble with searching the internet is that there are so many horticultural
varieties!

I would particularly like a lead on the "Saxifrage".

Thanks again

Peter

I wasn't going to argue with Eryngium, but if you think that it isn't
you could try Dipsacaceae or perhaps Adoxaceae.

Looks to me like Moschatel, Adoxa moschatellina, vernacular name "Town
Hall Clock", because of the arrangement of the flowers.

I doubt it. One of its other vernacular names is Five-faced Bishop, which
gives a clue to the number of flowers on each spike. Peter's specimen has
many flowers.

I don't know what Peter's plant actually is, though. 8-)

Looks to me like /Impatiens noli-tangere/, known in Britain as
Touch-me-not Balsam.

I've noted this on Flickr.

Thank you everyone.

Yes, I aggree with Roger. Superficially the the individual blooms of the
"saxifrage" might look like Adoxa, but the structure is wrong. 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.

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

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.

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.
