Description
Description of Jean Henri Jaume Saint-Hilaire in French flora and the pomone (1831): " The Aster of the Pyrenees, Aster Pyrenaeus , DESF. is a hardy perennial, whose stem, high with approximately two feet, is provided with brought closer sheets, oblong, sessile and a little embracing at their base, whole or provided with some teeth at the top; the flowers are large, of a blue lilac; all the plant is hairy. Flowers: in July and in August. Habitat: the Pyrenees where it is rather rare. “It is of all our plants, known as Lapeyrouse, that which I sought with the most care during long years and always unnecessarily; I finally succeeded in finding it with the Montagne of Esquierry, among the grass, with the large foot of a rock on the right, opposite the lake.” The description which it gives of the wild species compared with the crop plant with the Jardin of the king, proves that a long culture, did not deform that of our gardens, and changed anything neither in its port, nor in its characters more essentiels."
