Field Notes

Description:

Without the purple flowers it is very convincing looking as a moss, hence the name. The flowers usually have 5 petals, and the leaves look like mini aloe leaves and somewhat succulent.

Habitat:

Rocky cliff face over the ocean. Growing next to some Spotted Saxifrage, which is the spikier-looking plant in the bottom of photo 2.
