JAMESONIELLA CARRINGTONI (Balf.) Steph. 
An Atlantic species, but not confined to the west side of 
the country. Its distribution extends from the south 
of Argyll to Sutherland, and it is also found in Mid Perth, 
the Cairngorms, and Orkney. It is frequent and at times 
even common on several of the hills of the West Highlands ; 
it is also present in small quantity on some of the hills of 
the western side of Mid Perth, and in the Aberdeenshire 
Cairngorms, but appears to be absent in the intervening 
area. It has been found in the western part of the North 
Highlands, and only as yet on one of the islands of the 
Inner Hebrides. The usual locality for this species is on 
grassy slopes, rock ledges, and among boulders from 1600— 
2000 ft. alt., but it descends to 1000 ft. alt. in one locality 
in Argyll and ascends to 2400 ft. The altitude in the 
Cairngorms has not been noted. This fine species grows in 
tall, erect yellow-green or pale-green tufts; is frequently 
unmixed, but more commonly accompanied by Bazz. 
tricrenata and Anast. orcadensis, also frequently by 
Herberta adunca, and occasionally when on rock ledges is 
found among Sphagnum. 
The male plant is rare ; the female has not been met with.
