Arabis scabra
Arabis scabra, the Bristol rockcress, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae with a disjunct native range in France, Spain and Switzerland and a single outpost in the Avon Gorge, England.
Arabis scabra is primarily a montane Mediterranean species, occurring on warm, limestone slopes of the Pyrenees in France and Spain, the mountains of northern and north-eastern Iberia, south-eastern France and the south-western Alps. It grows in very shallow, lime-rich soils—on scree, rocky ledges and open woodland edges where taller competitors are scarce. In England it is native only to the Avon Gorge near Bristol; isolated introductions elsewhere (for example at Combwich) have generally failed to persist.
