    Roseroot [Rhodiola rosea] 

Wester Ross, 20/05/80

~ These succulent blueish-green leaves, the plant's insurance against drought, are irresistible to grazing animals, but any damp shady crag or gully that provides refuge may well have a colony of Roseroot. The stems are said to give off a sweet roseate fragrance when cut, but I've never had the heart to verify this.
