Gnaphalium norvegicum, the highland cudweed[3] or Norwegian arctic cudweed,[4] is a European species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is widespread across much of Europe from the Mediterranean north to Finland and Iceland.[5][6]
Gnaphalium norvegicum is similar to Gnaphalium sylvaticum, heath cudweed. However, it is 8 to 30 cm tall, the leaves are 3 veined, and all roughly equal in length. The leaves are also wooly/hairy on both sides.
It is a rare plant found in central Scotland and in the northern highlands, found on acidic mountain rocks. It flowers July to August.[7]
