| Notes: | Label source: This is the most abundant plant in Kerguelans land, covering the rocky ground close to the sea with brown masses, many feet in extent, and often so soft that the traveller plunges into up to the middle. Like the Azorella (Bolax) glebaria of, the Falkland Islands, the living part of the plant forms a crust over a vast mound of debris, the decaying remains of former years growth, through which the roots descend into the ground. | ||||
