Is this the place we are looking for?

Sankt Martin / St. Martin in Sulmtal
This willage is in Steimark / Styria. It is close to border with Slovenia. The elevation is 333 m, so this is not St. Martin we are looking for.

Sankt Martin / St. Martin im Innkreis
is a municipality in the district of Ried im Innkreis in Upper Austria, Austria. the elevation is 372 m. This is not the place in quetion here!

Sankt Martin / St. Martin im Mühlkreis

Sankt Martin / St. Martin am Tennengebirge

The elevation is 250 so this is not the right St. Martin.

St. Martin in Lower Austria, Gmund district

Could this be the area where the plant is coming from?

This Jovibarba sobolifera from St. Martin JH 198 was found by me growing on the rocks along the small road from St. Martin to Harmanschlag at an elevation of about 630 m.
St. Martin is situated in Niederösterreich (Lower Austria) to the southwest of Gmünd.
I sent plants to Dr. Pasztor in Hungary.
