SCAPANIA UNDULATA (L.) Dum. 
Generally distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, but 
less common than S. purpwrascens. In both West and 
East Lowlands it is uncommon on the low-lying ground, 
and in most districts is rare. In the subalpine districts of 
these provinces it is more local than S. pwrpwrascens, and 
does not appear to be common in any district, though large 
masses of it may sometimes be met with. It is uncommon 
in Fife and in the low-lying districts of the East Highlands, 
but is frequent in the subalpine region of the Highlands 
and Islands, and is common in the alpine region. It forms 
dark-green masses in streams on the low ground and is 
sometimes submerged. On the hills it is found in similar 
situations, as well as in large spongy masses In springs and 
marshy ground. Fruit is common in June, but the plant 
is frequently sterile. 
Some of the records given below may perhaps be better 
referred to S. purpurascens. This applies especially to 
those of some of the older botanists, whose specimens were 
examined some years ago when the species name was not 
limited in this country as at present.
