Botanist on Piz Linard (IMAGE)
Caption
On the summit of Piz Linard in the Swiss Alps, 3410 meters above sea level, the botanists could identify 16 plant species, where in 1835 only one individual of one species had been found: The alpine rock-jasmine (Androsace alpina). Among the new species are several that a century earlier had never been found to grow at such altitudes.
