Widely distributed over the subalpine and alpine regions 
of the Highland provinces, but very local in the Lowlands. 
In the West Lowlands it has only been found on the Kells 
range and Merrick Hills of Kirkcudbright and Ayr. “Is 
common on the Kirkeudbrightshire hills, descending to 
about 200-300 ft., though probably washed down at this 
altitude” (M‘Andrew in litt.). It appears to be absent 
from the East Lowlands, and almost from the whole east 
coast neighbourhood, and for some miles inland in the 
East Highlands. Frequent in the Eastern Grampians, it 
becomes common towards the west. In the West High- 
lands it is one of the commonest species on the hills, 
descending to 200 ft. alt. in Arran, and to sea-level in 
West Inverness. It is rather common in many parts of 
the low ground in the West Highlands, but it only becomes 
very common above 1200 ft. alt. Is mostly uncommon in 
the Inner Hebrides, where there is little peaty soil on the
