This plant is well adapted to retain the water winch 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 inflated lobes of the thallus.
