Unknown Thistle/Knapweed on Spanish Coast
Hola,
These thistle/knapweed flowers were growing in the Aixorta Mountains behind Guadalest in Costa Blanca, Spain, early April this year.

They were very low-growing, 5 to 10cm high with flowers at least 4cm diam. I think they are Centarea but cannot find the species after looking in several books and web sites.
An ID would be most welcome

From looking in my books the closest I can find is Centaurea aegialophila, but that doesn't look quite right. You could try googling the Centaurea family as they do look similar.

Thanks Guy,
I have it in my book, without an illustration. I will pursue on Google. I was also thinking of contacting a Nature Reserve Administration Centre in the area.
