The arctic-alpines include purple saxifrage, moss campion, alpine cinquefoil, mountain avens, alpine ladyâs mantle, alpine catchfly and alpine mouse-ear. These species often flourish where the soils are rich in basic minerals which in the high fells generally equates to the gullies or flushes.he IPA is situated in the North west corner of England in the county of Cumbria.
