Densely ceespitose. Leaves linear, flat, long ciliated especially 
at the insertion of the sheaths, acuminate, obtuse at the apex. Stem 
15—30 cm. high. Inflorescence umbelliform with erect branches, 
sometimes contracted. Bractlets entire or somewhat serrate. Sepals 
lanceolate long acuminate about as long as the capsule. Anthers 
as long as the filaments. 
In Arctic regions generally the sepals and capsules are dark 
brown almost black and the clusters short-stalked and often ap- 
proximated. This form is the L. campestris v. alpina Gaud, E. Mey. 
and y.congesla Taylor, Lge. (not Thuill, Koch, Buchenau).
