Braya humilis
Also called Low Northern Rockcress, Dwarf Braya, Leafy Braya, Low Braya, Low Torularia
Braya humilis is a small, low-growing alpine and arctic perennial in the cabbage family, forming a rosette of short, stout leaves. It is a wild species of cold, exposed mountain and tundra habitats rather than a common garden plant, so it needs cool conditions, full sun and very good drainage to thrive.
Braya humilis, also known as low northern rockcress, is a species of plant. It was first described in 1831.
Braya humilis is found across North and Central Asia, and in the arctic and alpine regions of North America. In China, it is found primarily on the Tibetan Plateau.
