Black spruce and dwarf larch Larix larieina scrub colonises exposed moraines, giving way to an ericaceous shrub formation in the more exposed and unstable areas with alpine bearberry Anctostaphylos alpina, alpine azalea Loiseleuria procumbens and diapensia.    From Wordnik.com.  [Gros Morne National Park, Canada] Reference

The diapensia was already quite out of bloom, although only nine days before we had thought it hardly at its best.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Foot-path Way] Reference

Along this ridge I was delighted to find in blossom two beautiful Alpine plants, which I had missed in previous (July) visits, -- the diapensia.    From Wordnik.com.  [Birds in the Bush] Reference

I enjoyed the climb, the lessening forest, the alpine plants (the diapensia was in full flower, with its upright snowy goblets, while the geum and the Greenland sandwort were just beginning to blossom), the magnificent prospect, the stimulating air, and, most of all, the mountain itself.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Foot-path Way] Reference

They are specially to be found in the genera arenaria, silene, diapensia, primula, saxifraga, arabis, aubrietia, veronica, campanula, gentiana.    From Wordnik.com.  [Manual of Gardening (Second Edition)] Reference

Everybody notices that many of the mountain species, like the diapensia, the rose-bay, the Greenland sandwort (called the mountain daisy by the Summit House people, for some inscrutable reason), and the phyllodoce, have blossoms disproportionately large and handsome; as if they realized that, in order to attract their indispensable allies, the insects, to these inhospitable regions, they must offer them some special inducements.    From Wordnik.com.  [Birds in the Bush] Reference
