The slide passed, the path winds through dense, low spruce growth, and, the last steep cliffs gradually overcome, the extreme limit of tree vegetation (four thousand eight hundred feet) is passed, and the remaining rocky slope offers no growth except a few hardy plants, such as sandwort, grasses, and several varieties of moss and lichen. ❋ Various (N/A)
White mountain-avens may cover entire ridges in the Alaska Range, associated with moss campion, black oxytrope, arctic sandwort, lichens, grasses, and sedges. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Characteristic sandy seashore plants are sea sandwort Honckenya peploides and lyme-grass Elymus mollis. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Those found within Mt. Robson park include low sandwort Atenaria longipedinculata, slender Indian paintbrush Castilleja gracillima, western Indian paintbrush C. occidentalis, sulphur indian paintbrush C. sulphurea and arctic cinquefoil Potentilla hyparctica. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I enjoyed the climb, the lessening forest, the alpine plants (the diapensia was in full flower, with its upright snowy goblets, while the geum and the Greenland sandwort were just beginning to blossom), the magnificent prospect, the stimulating air, and, most of all, the mountain itself. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
The two flowers oftenest noticed by the chance comer to these parts are the Greenland sandwort (the "mountain daisy"!) and the pretty geum, with its handsome crinkled leaves and its bright yellow blossoms, like buttercups. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
How wise, too, is the sandwort in its choice of a dwelling-place! ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
To what extent, if at all, the sandwort depends upon the service of insects for its fertilization, I do not know, but it certainly has no scarcity of such visitors. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
On the first of these occasions, although I was eight days later than I had been the year before (June 19th instead of June 11th), the diapensia was just coming into somewhat free bloom, while the sandwort showed only here and there a stray flower, and the geum was only in bud. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
They strolled about the summit, admired the prospect, picked a bunch of sandwort, perhaps, but especially they went to see the snow. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
I remember, too, how the whole summit, from the Nose to the Chin, was sprinkled with the modest and beautiful Greenland sandwort, springing up in every little patch of thin soil, where nothing else would flourish, and blossoming even under the door-step of the hotel. ❋ Bradford Torrey (1877)
(Stellaria media), sandwort (Spergula), and some willow-herbs ❋ Alfred Russel Wallace (1868)
Occasionally near the beach these rounded beds, as also those of the sea-sandwort (Honkenya peploides), were filled with sand within an inch of their tops, and were hard, like large ant-hills, while the surrounding sand was soft. ❋ Unknown (1865)
The Teesdale rock-rose and Teesdale sandwort have existed in isolation since the last ice age in the Durham Dales. ❋ Caroline Davies (2011)
More than 300 species of flowering plants have been recorded, including national rarities such as pale forget-me-not and spring sandwort. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Rare plants include blue-hearts, Texas sandwort, crested coralroot, crane-fly orchid, dwarf hackberry and spotted wintergreen. ❋ Unknown (2009)
