Can anyone identify this plant
http://www.narwhal.pwp.blueyonder.co...e/Glencoe6.jpg
I found it growing on a scree and rock bed in Glencoe, Scotland and
have never been able to identify it.
The flower spire was about 4 inches high

So where are the flowers?

Rhodiola rosea maybe?

That is the flower spire, reddish pink unless its the leaves are that
colour. Pretty sure its not R. rosea. Could be a crassula or stonecrop
of some sort.
It was just in the rocks poking up out of some moss and gravel. Been
through all the scottish mountain flora descriptions I can find but
can see nothing like it.

That is not the flower spike. That is the foliage without the terminal
flower cluster.

Sedum rosea is a synonym of Rhodiola rosea.

Definitely not a Crassula (Tillaea). The Crassula species in that area are
diminuitive plants with very narrow paired leaves.

Thanks for the help. Think that the picture at
http://ulmus.kee.hu/kelemenh/picszov/l93rhodi.htm is quite a good
match, especially the growth at the lower right.
The red leaves on my specimen are because its a juvenile or due to
the climate perhaps?
