in grassy places or between rocks; confined to scree slopes and areas with abundant seabird burrows at Inaccessible [1]. Tristan: Common in all habitats all around the island (Tristan) [2]
Inaccessible: Recorded by Wace & Dickson (1965). Common on slips above Blenden Hall, especially the slios adjacent to the West Road and on the slump below the plateau edge North of the West Road. Isolated patched were found at Boulder Hill and Swale´s Fell (Roux et al 1992, Ryan & Glass 2001). [3] Nightingale: A collection of this species by Stableford was noted as coming from Nightingale. This is presumed to be an error, and probably is collected on Tristan (note by Nigel Wace on the specimen in the Kew Herbarium (Stableford 18)
