Minuartia recurva, the recurved sandwort or sickle-leaved sandwort,[2] is a rare tufted, calcifugous chamaephyte perennial flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It blooms from late spring to the end of summer.[3]
Description
This perennial, densely tufted, hairy plant has a woody base and flowering stems up to 15 cm (6 in) in length. The stems are wiry and lignified, with acicular leaves with three veins, curving to the side to a greater of lesser extent. The flowers are grouped in glandular flower-heads, the individual flowers being white and five-petaled. The inflorescence is a 1–8-flowered cyme. Sepals are 3 to 6 mm (0.12 to 0.24 in) long with 5–7 veins and are ovate-lanceolate; petals are 4 to 8 mm (0.16 to 0.31 in) long and ovate. The fruit is an ovoid capsule up to 5 mm (0.20 in) in length.[4]
Distribution
Minuartia recurva is found in mountainous regions of southern Europe and southwest Asia.
It is also found in Ireland's Caha Mountains, first noted there in 1964.[5][6]
