GENERALLY distributed over the whole of the country from 
Dumfries to Shetland. In the cultivated districts of the 
Lowlands it is uncommon, and occasionally even in the 
subalpine region, as in the Upper Clyde district; but it is 
usually a frequent species in the subalpine regions and is 
sometimes common. It is common over all the Highlands 
and in the Islands, both on the low ground and on the 
hills, and ascends to 3300 ft. alt. in Perthshire. Occurs on 
all formations, and is sometimes especially abundant on 
limestone rocks. Is found in ditches, marshes, side of 
streams, peat-mosses, wet rocks, and on moss tufts in wet 
places. 
Fruit, which is mature from April to August, is frequent.
