This alpine species is confined to some of the higher 
mountains in the Highlands, where it is occasionally to be 
found in some quantity. The upper parts of most of the 
highest mountains in the West Highlands and Hebrides 
are bare and stony, and are almost devoid of vegetation. 
This is also the case over a large part of the North 
Highlands. On such hills there are few habitats for this 
species, which prefers small vertical banks on grassy slopes. 
There is little doubt that it is a species which has been 
a good deal overlooked, and it may perhaps be found to 
occur on most of our hills of above 3300 ft. alt. which have 
soil near their summits. It forms broad yellowish-green 
patches on moist soil, rarely in wet ground, from 3100- 
3800 ft. alt. Fruit, which is mature in July and August, 
is common.
