60 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATIC IN SCOTLAND 
brought from Cambridgeshire, so that it cannot be con- 
sidered established here. From the northern counties I 
have seen only one specimen. This was from Caithness, 
where it was found in a garden close to some ferns 
“brought from England a few years ago.” 
Whether the species will spread out of gardens to any 
extent on the west side of Scotland is doubtful, but that 
it will extend its range in the east is probable. 
Lunuwlaria is not mentioned by the earlier Scottish 
botanists, nor are there any specimens of it in the Edinburgh 
Herbarium, except one of Taylor’s from Dunkerron, Ireland, 
dated 1844. That * most accurate botanist Greville does 
not mention it in his Flora Hdinensis, 1824. He gives 
Marchantia as “plentiful,” which would at the present 
time apply rather to Lunularia. At the same time he 
mentions other species as Frullania Tumarisci being 
“plentiful” and F. dilututu “extremely common ”—the 
former being now rare near Edinburgh, the latter un- 
common. This doubtless is mainly due in the case of 
Frullania to the increased impurity of the air around the 
town. I do not know if Marchantia is affected in this 
way, but it is probable that Greville did not see enough 
of Lunularia to gain much knowledge of it, and has taken 
Muarchantia to be the same species. He could hardly 
make this mistake at the present time, as Lwnwlaria oceurs 
in profusion in most of the ravines near Edinburgh, and 
its unmistakable lunulate gemmiferous receptacles are 
nearly always in evidence.
