Thanks! More likely Slovenia.... there’s another sheet with same locality but no collector x.com/dr_norb/status/9565693…

Can't make much out of the locality. "G....stein". Might be a mountain. Biatzovssky collected several times in Karin (Central Slovenia), but it might be any other mountain in Austria, too, as Biatzovssky was professor in Salzburg.

Love this pic of @BrianLaney2 & @RichardMabbutt making sure that the plant young Jack is examining really is in flower. No cheating allowed on #NewYearPlantHunt in #Leicestershire - expert botanists @SarahWhild @SandyKnapp @DrTrevorDines can rest assured that rules were followed!
