Androsace vesulensis

Androsace saussurei is a perennial cushion plant species, usually 5–8 centimetres (2.0–3.1 in) high and 3–10 centimetres (1.2–3.9 in) in diameter. It is made of loose to slightly compact rosettes. It has hairy lanceolate leaves, usually 5–6.3 millimetres (0.20–0.25 in) long and 1–2.2 millimetres (0.039–0.087 in) wide. The hairs are deer-antler-shaped, 0.1–0.2 millimetres (0.0039–0.0079 in) long and mainly on the edges. The flowers are always white, 7 millimetres (0.28 in) in diameter. It typically flowers from June to August.^[1]

Androsace vesulensis inhabit rock crevices on ophiolite (basalt, gabbro and serpentine) at elevations from 2,800 to 3,800 metres (9,200 to 12,500 ft). This species is endemic to Monte Viso and neighboring ophiolite summits (Italy and France).^[1]
