Widespread but not numerous, on alkaline rock at any altitude but most frequent in the uplands. Flower diameter c 3-5 mm. Skye ID: Unmistakable if the twisted fruits are visible (note that young fruits or those on dwarf plants may not be twisted). Otherwise told from any similar crucifers apart from D norvegica by the slightly notched petals. Told from D norvegica by having many stem-leaves (D norv has 0-2) and the stem-leaves having a few large forward-pointing distant teeth (untoothed in D norv) Other features: Densely hairy all over, some of the hairs branched. |
