HAPLOZIA SPHHROCARPA (Hook.) Dwi. 
Jung. spherocarpa Hook. 
This species has been found only in a few scattered 
localities from Dumfries to Caithness. It is more frequent 
on the hills of Perthshire than elsewhere, though it is rare 
even there. On high exposed ground it is found as var. 
lwridu (Dum.), as on the summit of Craig Chailleach, Mid 
Perth, the original station of Hooker’s Jung. pumila var. 
nigricans. This species is rarely found on the low ground ; 
the only locality where it has hitherto been found in the 
Lowlands is at about 800 ft. alt. It has been found near 
sea-level in the North Highlands. 
It occurs as dark-green tufts at the side of streams and 
in wet or moist soil. Perianths are usually present; and 
fruit, which is mature in June and July, is frequent.
