Excerpt from The American Botanist, Vol. 25: A Quarterly Journal of Economic and Ecological BotanyThe plant is abundant upon the high mountains of Europe as well as upon those of our own country. It is a true Arctic-alpine plant abounding on the Arctic continent and islands almost to the extreme northern limit of vegeta tion. In these far northern latitudes it grows at sea level, so that we know it is not altitude that makes plants small and matted. Such plants grow upon the high peaks because their nature permits them to exist under the trying conditions that prevail there. Poor soil, fierce winds, long dry and cold sea sons and sudden and extreme changes of temperature have no terrors for the dainty little cushion pink.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
