Description
Faroese lady's-mantle is a small herbaceous plant growing to 15 centimeters (6 in) at most. In more exposed areas they are stunted, only growing to small sizes. Its leaves each have seven lobes that are half to two-thirds to the base of the leaf. The edges of the lobes have coarse teeth. The top of its leaves are green and the undersides are silvery with hairs on the undersides. Its flowers are pale green and measure about 3 millimeters. It flowers in June and July.
Range & habitat
Faroese lady's-mantle grows on the Faroe Islands and the eastern half of Iceland. The furthest west in Iceland that they have been reported is in Ásbyrgi. On the Faroe Islands it is more commonly found in higher areas, but can be found all the way to the edge of the sea. It is commonly found in crevices and rock-ledges in relatively dry areas and alongside streams elsewhere.
