HAPLOZIA CORDIFOLIA (Hook.) Dum. 
Jung. cordifolia Hook. 
An uncommon species in general, but usually found in 
some quantity where it does occur. It is rare in the Low- 
lands, and is seldom to be found below 900 ft. alt. It is 
quite a common species on the hills of Mid and North Perth 
and in parts of the Cairngorms, and has been found in 
many parts of Forfar. Towards the west side of the 
country it becomes rarer, and is rare near the west coast; 
in the latter district it is absent from large tracts of the 
country, especially to the north of Loch Linnhe. It has 
not been found in the Hebrides and is rare in the North 
Highlands. This species is most frequent at elevations 
above 2000 ft. and ascends to 3600 ft. alt. 
It forms large dark-green masses in springs, also in 
marshes, and more rarely on rocks at the side of streams. 
Fruit, which is mature in June and July, occurs abundantly 
on the higher ground, but is rare below 2000 ft., and appears 
to be absent when the station is below 1000 ft. alt.
