134 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATIC IN SCOTLAND 
being found also on the Cairngorms. It occurs in very 
small quantity, and seldom forms compact masses as in 
Norway. It is found with us scattered among other species, 
as Scup. ornithopodioides and Bazz. tricrenata, on rock 
ledges and on grassy places among rocks from 1900 ft. to 
3600 ft. alt. Perianths and male plants are uncommon, and 
fruit, which is mature in August, is rare.

Generally distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, but not 
comimon except in some of the eastern parts of the country. 
Its distribution is in great measure dependent on the 
presence of peat-mosses. Where these are scarce, as in the 
Lowlands in general, this species is local though usually 
present, and often in quantity. Through the Kast High- 
lands to Caithness it ranks as one of the more common
