Masafuera: alpine fell-fields near Las Torres, 1350— 1370 m (disp. fr. 

 14 / 2 17, no. 483 b, c; — f. glabrior); humid moss-mats (fl. l5 fz 17, no. 483); C. 

 del Barril, 1290 m (f. glabrior); Los Inocentes, 1350 — 1400 m. 



Another characteristic species of the well known »alpine» habit. The 

 leaves are variable as to shape and degree of pubescence, but I think all the 

 specimens collected belong to the same species. 



Area of distribution: Endemic in Masafuera.
