A small plant, usually less than six inches in height with a basal rosette of undivided leaves and small white flowers.This species occurs principally in two areas and habitats: around the coast on sandhills and inland on rocky ground around the limestone areas of Co. Fermanagh.
The species includes Arabis brownii, a minor variant which has been treated as a separate species by some botanists, but only differs from A. hirsuta by being much less hairy.
All names: Arabis hirsuta (L.) Scop.; Arabis brownii Jordan
