In the West Lowlands it is frequent in several of the glens, 
but is rare in the upper parts of the valleys, where there is 
little shelter. Is very rare in the East Lowlands, and is 
usually found only in shady subalpine glens. It is rare in 
Fife and generally over the drier districts of the East 
Highlands, but is rather common in the hilly districts. Is 
common in the West Highlands, less so in the unsheltered 
Hebrides. Is frequent in West Ross-shire, but is uncommon 
in the extreme north. It is uncommon on the hills, but 
ascends to 2600 ft. alt. in Perthshire. Fruit is uncommon, 
and mature froin September to May.
