Generally distributed over the subalpine parts of the 
country from Dumfries to Shetland. It is uncommon in 
the Lowlands, though frequent in a few of the better 
characterised subalpine regions, as in Kirkcudbright and 
the Talla Linns; otherwise it is found sparingly on isolated 
hills and in small quantity over the whole range of the 
Southern Uplands, usually from 1200 ft. alt. upwards. 
Over almost the whole of the Highlands it is a common 
species, being much the most frequent member of the 
barbate group. It is most frequent in the lower subalpine 
region, but is also rather common on the hills, and ascends 
from sea-level to 4000 ft. alt. in Mid Perth, 3900 ft. alt. on 
Ben Nevis, and to 3000 ft. alt.in Sutherland. It is common 
in the Inner Hebrides and has been found in some quantity 
in Orkney, but appears to be uncommon in Shetland. It 
grows in dark yellow-green tufts, or mixed with mosses,
