HAPLOZIA EZ 
Perianths are usually present, and fruit, which is mature 
from March to June, is common. 
The var. gracillima is also generally distributed on the 
low ground from Dumfries to Shetland. It is a much 
more common plant than the type, and is frequent in most 
districts. It is frequent in both the West and East Low- 
lands, being rather common in the Upper Clyde and Upper 
Tweed districts to 1200 ft. alt. Is frequent in the East 
Highlands and common in the West Highlands, but is 
uncommon in the Hebrides. Is rather common in West 
Ross, though it does not appear to be generally so in the 
North Highlands. It is uncommon in Orkney and Shetland. 
This variety is more confined to the low ground than is 
the type, and is seldom found above 1000 ft. alt., except in 
a few parts of the Lowlands. It grows in similar places to 
the type, but is often seen on wetter ground. It forms thin 
patches on soil, or mixed with other species, as with 
Cephalozia bicuspidata. Is usually green, though reddish 
on dry ground. Sterile plants are common, but perianths 
are frequent; fruit, which is mature from March to August, 
is not rare.
