Kantia Trichomanis (l.) Gray 
Generally distributed and frequent from Dumfries to 
Shetland. Is frequent in many parts of the Lowlands, 
especially in the Southern Uplands above 1200 ft. alt. ; 
in some districts of the Lowlands it is rare on the low 
ground. It is common in the Kast Highlands on the low 
ground and frequent on the hills, ascending to 3000 ft. 
alt. in Mid Perth. Is rather common in the West 
Highlands, where it has been found to 2500 ft. alt., and 
is common in the Hebrides. It is also common in the 
North Highlands, and is at least frequent in Orkney and 
Shetland. The comparative frequency of this species and 
(. fissu is difficult to state. In some districts one species is 
more common, and in another not far removed the other 
is the more common. In general it may be said that 
C. fissau is the more common in the south-west and west 
counties and Hebrides, while C. 7richomanis is the more 
common in the centre, east, and north of the country and 
in Shetland. On the hills the latter species is much the 
commoner and ascends to a higher altitude. C. fissa is 
uncommon on the hills, and has not been found above 
2300 ft. alt. This species grows on loamy and_peaty 
banks, stumps, in flat pale-green patches, and as scattered 
stems among Sphagnum. Is found on limestone as well 
as other rocks. Fruit, mature from April to June, is 
frequent. Gemme are often abundant.
