About the Image

Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. growing on the ultramafic rock of Mt. Albert, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. The alpine Gaspé highlands, with their arctic-alpine flora, and the ultramafic outcrops of Mt. Albert, which harbor both arctic-alpine disjunct and enedemic taxa, contribute significantly to the biodiversity of this area of boreal forest.
