A hispid biennial with stems 25-40cm in height. Rosette leaves oblonglanceolate, undulate, usually palish green. Flowers tubular, about 2cm long, pale straw yellow, in crowded erect spikes. Jura, Alps and mountains of the Balkan peninsula, in subalpine meadows and rocks. C.t. subsp. carniolica has looser spikes up to 60cm tall. Eastern Alps, mountains of Yugoslavia in scrub and forest margins. One of the most distinctive of bell-flowers, but by no means the most beautiful.
