Generally distributed from Dumfries to Shetland where 
wet peaty ground is present. In  contradistinction to 
L. Taylori, the present species is common on the low-lying 
peat-mosses of the Lowlands. As a large part of the Low- 
lands has been drained for agriculture, it is absent from 
large tracts where no doubt it was formerly present, as well 
as ‘being absent from other districts owing to an absence 
of peat. This also applies to large districts of the East 
Highlands; but after taking this into consideration, it is 
relatively more common on the east side of the country 
than on the west, this being the reverse of the case in 
L. Taylori. In the West Highlands it is common in some 
districts, but it is more generally only to be considered as 
frequent, and it is often uncommon. ‘This also applies in a 
greater degree to the Inner Hebrides, and it has not been 
recorded from the Outer Hebrides, though it doubtless 
occurs there. It is frequent in the North Highlands. In 
Orkney and Shetland there is little peat remaining, and 
the plant is uncommon. It is more of a low-ground 
species than L. Taylori, and is rare above 1500 ft. alt. in
