1200m elevation. Alpine meadow. Location obscured as it is quite rare on the island.

Pinned location is in general area of the population in addition to being obscured.
I can't be sure if this is actually a colour phase of C. congestum o a specimen of P. fimbriola.
This occurred very close to a cluster of H. congestum. It almost looks like there is the beginning of some stem growth in the topmost rosette in this photo. I did only get one photo.
Unfortunately some critter had eaten all of the upper buds on this plant. Remaining buds were brown and appears asymmetrical but they were still developing.
Fascinating plant of the river bar. Locally widespread, growing in rocky / gravelly areas on large sandbars.
