Marsupella arctica, commonly known as Arctic rustwort,[3] is a species of liverwort found in the Northern Hemisphere. It is present in Alaska and Greenland[4] and has a European distribution confined to Scotland and Svalbard. The Scottish population was first discovered in 1989 and is restricted to two sites in the Cairngorm mountains - the Lairig Ghru and Beinn a' Bhùird.[5]
The species occupies montane and alpine habitats,[1] and in Britain is classified as a "Vulnerable".[6]
