Only known from Canisp, in Sutherland, where it is locally plentiful on stony ground. It may be awaiting discovery elsewhere! ID: Like D alpinum but not, or only slightly, glaucous. Branches strongly flattened, cones on upright branches that only have scattered leaves (in D alpinum the cones are on the ends of otherwise normal branches) Other features: Sterile branches not so upright as in D alpinum. Leaves on the underside of creeping stems are unstalked and c 1 mm wide (stalked and c 0.5 mm wide in D alpinum) |
