LOPHOZIA BICRENATA (Schmid.) Dum. 
Jung. bicrenata Schmid. 
Widely distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, but un- 
common. It is rare in the Lowlands, uncommon in the 
East Lowlands and Fife, but is frequent in some parts of 
the Eastern Highlands. It is uncommon to rare in the 
West and North Highlands, and has not been found in the 
Hebrides. Being a small plant and easily overlooked, its 
distribution is not well known, but it shows a preference 
for the eastern side of the country. It is a low-ground 
species, though it has been found to about 1500 ft. alt. in 
Mid Perth. It forms reddish-brown small patches on dry 
soil on banks and on turf-covered walls. Perianths are 
usually present; fruit, which is mature from May to July, 
is not common. Gemme are very commonly present.
