212 THE DISTRIBUTION OF HEPATICZ IN SCOTLAND 
CEPHALOZIA FLUITANS (Nees) Spruce 
Widely distributed from Kirkcudbright to Caithness, but 
rare. As it usually occurs with us as scattered stems 
among Sphagnwim, it is probably sometimes overlooked, yet 
in well-searched districts it has only been found in small 
quantities. It is certainly rare in the West Highlands, and 
it has not been found in the Hebrides. It has been 
gathered in greater quantity in Caithness than elsewhere. 
The localities are all on low-lying peat-mosses, the highest 
altitude being 1200 ft. in Mid Perth. It is occasionally 
found in pale-green submerged masses in pools on moors. 
The plant is, usually without inflorescence, though sterile 
female inflorescence has been seen. This species fruits in 
the north of England in June.
