Epilobium alpestre is present in the Central and Southern Europe (mainly in the Alps) and in Western Asia. It occurs in high mountains at an elevation of 800–2,500 metres (2,600–8,200 ft) above sea level. [1]

Leaves are usually broadly lanceolate, acuminate at the apex and rounded at the base, with irregularly toothed margins, in whorls of 3 or 4. The Inflorescences are a simple, elongated. Flowers show four free acute sepals, shorter than the petals. They show a radial symmetry, 8 to 18 millimeters long and have a long tube. Corolla is pink, 1 to 1.5 cm wide, formed by four slightly indented petals and eight stamens.
