Rare on stony ground near the sea. Flower diameter c 4-5 mm Skye ID: Flowers similar to Common Scurvy-Grass, but usually mauve. Leaves rather ivy-like in shape, with heart-shaped bases. All leaves stalked except sometimes the extreme uppermost, and never clasping the stem. Flowers no more than 5 mm across. Plants are very dwarf and compact. Hybridises with Common S-g, not known if this occurs on Skye. Other features: Sometimes occurs with very tiny leaves almost hidden by the carpet of flowers, as in bottom picture. I have never seen this species on Skye and don't know what forms it takes here. |
