194 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATICH IN SCOTLAND 
close to the shore in Berwickshire. The species is probably 
to be found in many if not all of our western islands, but 
its small size makes its liable to be overlooked. Perianths 
and male inflorescence are common, but fruit has not been 
seen.

LOPHOCOLEA HETEROPHYLLA (Schrad.) Dum. 
Distributed from Dumfries and Berwick to West Ross 
and Kincardine, but a rare species in general. It is 
frequent in a few localities of the West Lowlands, but is 
mostly rare. It is frequent in the East Lowlands, and is 
locally rather common. It is also rather frequent in Fife 
and the eastern part of the East Highlands; is rare towards 
its western boundary ; and it is one of the rarest species in 
the West Highlands. North of the Clyde area, in the west 
of the country, it has not been found in its typical form, 
but only as the var. paludosa Warnst. on wet grassy ground. 
It has not been found in the Hebrides, and only in one 
locality in the North Highlands. It forms usually shallow 
patches on decaying logs in moist sheltered ground, and is 
contined to the low ground. Fruit is usually present from 
February to June.
