Native. Rupestral. Dr. Dickie discovered this plant 

 "on Loch-na-gar, at 3559 feet, more or less." It has been 

 since found, apparently at about the same altitude, in a 

 few stations on or about Cairn-toul, in the same comity of 

 Aberdeen. The two hills being south and north of the 

 latitudinal line of 57, the range of latitude for this local 

 species is made to appear wide, hy giving the two next 

 parallels, southward and northward, from the one which 

 intersects the stations.
