Abundant on mountains and occasional at lower levels.

Flower diameter c 3 mm

Skye ID: Leaves unmistakable.  Divided to more than halfway, unlike Lady's Mantle.

Other features: One of Skye's botanical claims to fame is that this alpine plant descends to sea-level here.  It occurs within a few feet of high-tide level at Torrin and near Scorrybreac, and possibly other places.
