Eriophorum vaginatum
The predominant vegetation is blanket mire, in which heather, "Calluna vulgaris", and hare's-tail cottongrass, "Eriophorum vaginatum", are co-dominant. On higher ground, to the west, dwarf shrubs such as cloudberry, "Rubus chamaemorus", and crowberry, "Empetrum nigrum", are more frequent. Where steep slopes have inhibited peat formation, the blanket mire gives way to dry heath, in which heather, wavy hair-grass, "Deschampsia flexuosa", and bilberry, "Vaccinium myrtillus", are the dominant species.
