84 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATICZ IN SCOTLAND 
It is frequent on the low ground of the West Highlands, 
but seems to be less so in the Hebrides. The early period of 
fruiting makes its general distribution imperfectly known. 
When on the low ground it is commonly found on wet 
grassy ground, but when on the mountains it is generally 
at the side of rills. 
Fruit, which matures in April and May, and on the hills 
also in June, is frequent, more so than in P. endiviefolia ; 
and male and female plants usually occur together, which 
is not the case in the latter species.
