An uncommon species in Scotland, and which has only 
been found in a few scattered localities from Lanarkshire 
to W. Ross. The highest altitude at present known for 
the plant is 2500 ft. in Mid Perth, but it probably occurs 
considerably higher. It is found on old walls and banks 
on the low ground, in pale-green tufts, and on moist soil 
on the hills, where it often assumes a reddish-brown colour. 
Perianths are generally present, and fruit is frequent.

NARDIA BREIDLERI (Limpr.) Lindb. 
Alicularia Breidleri Limpr. 
This minute alpine species has been overlooked in 
Scotland until recent years. It is not very rare near the 
summits of some of our higher mountains, and will doubt- 
less be found on many of them which have moist soil about 
the summit, At present it is only known from a few 
localities, and descending to about 3000 ft. alt. It forms 
small reddish patches, very commonly mixed with Anthelia 
Juratzkana. Fruit has not been found.
