Generally distributed from Dumfries to Shetland, and is 
frequent on the east side of the country, but uncommon in 
the west. It is uncommon in the West Lowlands generally, 
though rather common in the Upper Clyde district. Is 
frequent in the East Lowlands, but uncommon in some 
districts. It appears to be generally found throughout the 
East Highlands, becoming uncommon near its western 
boundary. Over the West Highlands it is uncommon 
and in many places rare, and is rare in the Inner and Outer 
Hebrides. It appears to be frequent in the North Highlands, 
and has been found in several places both in Orkney and 
Shetland. Being an inconspicuous species, it may be 
sometimes overlooked. It usually occurs in small quantities, 
and mixed with Diplophyllum albicans, Haplozia crenulata, 
or Ceph. bicuspidata on loamy banks, more rarely peaty 
banks, and on ditch-sides on the low ground. It ascends 
to 2900 ft. alt. in Mid Perth, but is rare on the hills. 
Perianths are rather uncommon; the male plant is more 
frequent. I have only one record of fruit being found. 
Gemme are common.
