Androsace alpina

Androsace alpina, or Alpine rock-jasmine, is an alpine plant, endemic to the Alps. The plant forms distinctive cushion-like mats up to 20 cm across, with small overlapping leaves arranged in rosettes and bearing fine glandular hairs that help conserve water. It inhabits specialized high-alpine environments between 2,500 and 3,200 metres elevation, favouring well-drained limestone or dolomite scree and crevices primarily on south-facing slopes, where its cushion growth form creates a protective microclimate in these harsh conditions....read more on Wikipedia.
