LOPHOZIA BARBATA (Schmid.) Dwm. 
Jung. barbata Schmid. 
Widely distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, but un- 
common. It is rare in the Lowlands, being rather less so 
on the east side than on the west. It is most frequent in 
the East Highlands, though still uncommon. Is rare in the 
West Highlands, very rare in the Inner Hebrides, and has 
not been found in the Outer Hebrides. It is also rare in 
the North Highlands, has not been found in Orkney, and 
has only once been gathered in Shetland. It is a low- 
ground plant, though ascending to 2700 ft. alt. in Mid Perth 
and to 1600 ft. alt. in the Inner Hebrides. 
Grows in thick patches by itself, or mixed with mosses 
about the base of damp walls and on banks, the latter being 
frequently dry. Perianths are somewhat rare, and fruit has 
not been seen.
