Widely distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, but rare 
except on the west side of the country. It is uncommon in 
the West Lowlands, and very rare in the Upper Clyde 
district. Is rare in the East Lowlands and very rare in the 
Upper Tweed valley. It has not been yet found in Fife or 
in any part of the East Highlands with the exception of 
Strathspey. In the West Highlands and Hebrides it is 
frequent. It has been found in a few places in the North 
Highlands, but is very rare in Caithness. It also appears 
to be rare in Orkney and Shetland. This species is confined 
to the low ground, and is found in greatest quantity near the 
shore of the west coast. It forms thin, very pale green 
patches on loamy banks and sides of ditches, frequently 
accompanied by C. fissa. It has only been found sterile.
