An Aleuritia species related to P. scotica, similarily homostyle and self-fertile, but taller and with less intensely coloured flowers. Leaves 2-4cm long and 4-10mm wide, narrowly obovate to spathulate, tapering to a long, winged petiole after flowering, farinose especially below. Flowers usually dull purple with a golden eye, about 12 mm diameter, in umbels of two to ten on stems 4-10cm or more tall. Mountains of southern Norway, and again in north Norway and adjacent Sweden, both coastal and alpine; largely on calcareous rocks. Rarely grown and short-lived.
