In a study on Devon Island, just south of Ellesmere, the hares fed mainly on Arctic willow in winter, supplemented in summer with Arctic avens, grasses and sedges. |
The white mountain avens needs a moist peaty or sandy soil, and must be protected from slugs and snails. |
The alpine region is characterized by sturdy species such as dwarf birch and mountain avens. |
As the name implies, the mountain avens can mostly be seen in mountains. |
Among the wildflowers are a red columbine, aster, figwort, wild sarsaparilla, fleabane, and avens. |
There were fields of the wildflower mountain avens gone to seed in Kennicott. |
