      Yes, as you say they are and somewhat enigmatic in that they are very limited in their distribution - between such as the wonderful limestone pavement sites and growing on heavy metal polluted areas of previous heavy industry or along the rivers below such sites. Posted 5 years ago

The Spring Sandwort

Minuartias are small annual or perennial plants which grow in otherwise inhospitable conditions such as on rocky ledges and in stony soil. The genus is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, mainly distributed in Europe, in the Mediterranean region, and north Africa, southwest Asia, and the Caucasus Mountains
