180 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATIC IN SCOTLAND 
especially in Mid Perth. It is a common species in West 
Inverness, but uncommon in most other parts of the West 
Highlands. Has only been found as yet in a few localities 
of the North Highlands, and has not been found in Shetland. 
It is generally confined to the low ground, but ascends to 
1800 ft. alt. in Mid Perth in one locality among alpine 
species. 
It occurs as small spreading patches of a dark-green or 
olive-green colour closely attached to rocks, usually by the 
side of streams in ravines; also occasionally in damp 
gravelly places, especially on roadsides. Perianths are 
nearly always present, and fruit is very common in spring 
and is sometimes present throughout summer until October.
