Flora of the Faroe Islands information


Outfield (hagi) near Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands. Angelica archangelica and buttercup (Ranunculus).

The flora of the Faroe Islands consists of over 400 different plant species. Most of the lowland area is grassland and some is heather, mainly Calluna vulgaris. The Faroese nature is characterized by the lack of trees and resembles that of Connemara and Dingle in Ireland.

Among the numerous herbaceous flora that occur in the Faroe Islands is the marsh thistle, Cirsium palustre.[1]
