164 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATIC IN SCOTLAND 
has a distinctly eastern distribution in the country, especi- 
ally in the Highlands. It is less markedly so in the 
Lowlands. It is confined to the low ground, and grows in 
close, usually pale green, tufts on banks and walls, also 
less frequently on rocks and stumps. Perianths are rare, 
but male plants are frequent; fruit has not been seen. 
Gemme are common.
