This plant is well adapted to retain the water which it takes up from the mosses on 
which it is growing in rather exposed places on the very summit of the mountain ; it 
may be compared to the Tasmanian species M. saccata, Mitt., which prefers to grow on 
the uppermost twigs of trees, where it has a similar exposed situation and shows a similar 
adaptation to retain the water within the infiated lobes of the thallus.
