LOPHOZIA Isivf 
LOPHOZIA TURBINATA (Raddi) Steph. 
Jung. turbinata Raddi 
Widely distributed from Kirkeudbright and Berwick to 
the extreme north of Sutherland and extending to Orkney. 
It is rare except in the neighbourhood of the coast in the 
East Lowlands, Fife, and Forfar. In these districts it is 
locally common. Also in Caithness it has been found in 
several places. It is very rare in the central parts of 
Scotland, and it has only been found in the West Highlands 
in the limestone island of Lismore. It is apparently con- 
fined to soils in which there is some mixture of lime, but, 
when allowance is made for this, the species must still be 
allowed to have a mainly eastern distribution in this 
country. It is entirely confined to the low ground, and 
occurs in light-green to almost black patches on moist soil, 
most frequently at the side of dens and ravines, and oceasion- 
ally on moist ground on sand-dunes. Perianths are 
frequent, though less so than the male plant. Fruit, which 
is mature from March to June, is frequent. 
The localities which are queried may possibly be placed 
to L. budensis, as these specimens have not been seen since 
the latter was distinguished from L. turbinata.
