Petite plante poussant en coussinets de densité modérée, plats ou convexes, à petites feuilles de 4 à 10 mm de long, imbriquées, toutes pubescentes à poils simples mêlés de rares poils bi- ou trifurqués. Inflorescence sessile à une seule fleur blanche à 5 pétales, dépourvue de bractée. Plante des Alpes.
Détermination
Moyennement difficile.
Espèces proches
Androsace cylindrica est une espèce proche originaire des Pyrénées (A. pubescens vit dans les Alpes). Les feuilles de A. helvetica n’ont que des poils simples, ne dépassent pas 4 mm de long et les coussinets sont très denses et convexes (au moins quelques poils bi- à trifurqués, feuilles dépassant les 4 mm de long et plante en coussinets peu denses chez A. pubescens). A. vandellii et A. alpina ont des feuilles à poils étoilés (poils simples mélés à quelques poils bi- à trifurqués chez A. pubescens). A. obtusifolia et A. villosa ont des inflorescences pédonculées (inflorescences sessiles chez A. pubescens).
Période d’observation
Floraison entre juin et août.
Biologie - éthologie
Espèce hémicryptophyte (herbacée vivace) en coussinets appartenant à la famille des Primulaceae. Cette famille compte des plantes terrestres ou aquatiques à appareil végétatif assez varié. Elles ont généralement des fleurs de type 5, avec des sépales et des pétales soudés au moins à leur base. Androsace pubescens est une espèce hermaphrodite, entomogame et barochore.
Biogéographie et écologie
Espèce orophyte ouest-alpine : France, Italie, Suisse. Androsace pubescens est une espèce des rochers, falaises et éboulis grossiers des sols calcaires des étages subalpins à alpins (2200-3200 m).

The map presents a summary at the 10 x 10 km grid of the observation data for the species transmitted to the SINP. These data have been subjected to validation filters.

Current distribution in metropolitan France
The map presents a reference distribution layer of the species at the scale of departments and marine sectors. The presence and absence data were established by expertise within a network of partners. This reference distribution is used in the validation process of the SINP data at the INPN level.

Certain presence
Corresponds to a report on the basis of at least one observation proved within a period of 10 years (20 years for little-known invertebrates) preceding the year and no presumption of extinction since obtaining the last data nor doubt on reproductive and implemented nature of this population. For migratory species, the presence indicated concerns areas of reproduction.
Probable presence
This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
search of species incomplete but presence of supportive environments;
ecology of the species consistent with the hypothesis of his presence;
the last reliable sighting is older than 10 years compared to the reference date, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [vertebrates, invertebrates and plants well studied (rhopalocera, grasshoppers, dragonflies ...)] ;
the last reliable observation being older than 20 years, no recent specific research and no presumption of extinction from that date [poorly known taxa: fungus, many invertebrates...].
Probable or certain absence
This point covers the absence, more difficult by nature to demonstrate than presence. This status is based on one or more of the following criteria:
intensive but unsuccessful targeted research;
lack of adequate environments;
unobserved species while its presence is easily detected;
unlikely presence for historical or biogeographical reasons.
This status must be assigned to a department in which the presence of the species is casual.
Absence due to a proven extinction
Particular case of absence due to a proven extinction less than a half century ago (older disappearances are treated as "no probable or definite").
No information
In the state of knowledge, we can not comment on the presence or absence in the current department. This is the default status when not comprised in one of the previous categories or whenever there is doubt.
