Common throughout the cool North Hemisphere; very common 
in Japan. 
On referring to J. Gay's classical paper on C. Goodenovii, it 
will be seen that it only differs from C. cespitosa, Palmstr., by 
the stronger nervation of the utricle. Linusus included both 
(and other plants) under his * cæspitosa " ; he probably had but 
a grain of the comparatively rare C. cespitosa, Palmstr., to 
several ounces of the very common C. Goodenovii; but the 
name C. cespitosa (Linn. partim) is reserved by botanists for 
the plant of Palmstruch.
