Our plant grew in the crevices of one of the boulders which lie 
at the base of the south-east face of Ben Lawers, and extend as far 
as the head of Lochan-a’-Chait. Although we spent parts of three 
days among the boulders, we only met with one tuft. 
Its distribution in Europe extends over the Pyrenees, Apennines, 
and the mountains of Scandinavia, Finland, and Corsica, It also 
occurs in North America. Its fruit reaches maturity in June.
