Diapensia lapponica

May

A long-lived, slow-growing, dense, cushion-forming evergreen dwarf shrub, restricted in the British Isles to a small quartz-rich rock outcrop on an exposed mountain ridge, where it grows on acidic soils in a stony fell-field. It is uncertain whether viable seed is regularly produced, and recruitment from seed at the site is certainly very limited. 780 m (near Glenfinnan, Westerness).
