The vegetation of chalckrich grassland in Eastern Denmark 
Many of the plant species from the chalky grassland in Jutland grow on the eastern danish chalky grassland too. But a few species are only found in Eastern Denmark.
The Small Scabious (Scabiosa columbaria) is a typical plant on calcerous grassland and slopes on Seeland and Mon (right picture). It has never been found in Jutland all though it can be found as a garden escape.
Otker examples of thes plants spevcies can be seen under The limestone cliffs of Mon .
