- In contrast to P. capillare, no D. lanuginosum plants were observed outside of active solfataras.
- Most of the mountains are clastic stratovolcanic sediments (ashes and tuff), and the abundant solfataras and fumaroles, many of which are still active, are the last phases of the volcanism.
- This mountain is capped by several castellated masses of basaltic lava, much weather-worn and decomposed by the acid vapours evolved from the surrounding solfataras.
Synonyms hollow, bowl, basin, pan, hole, cavity, pocket
