where these occur, and usually only in moist and somewhat 
sheltered localities. It is also not rarely on rocks, but 
nearly always only when these are sheltered and are in 
damp places. In open Highland glens, although with trees 
at the foot, it is rare, and frequently is absent. On the 
hills it is very rare, but has been found up to 2000 ft. alt. 
in Mid Perth. 
Fruit is very common when the plant occurs on trees, but 
is rather uncommon when on rocks. It is found mature in 
all the months, but is most common from March to June. 
Gemme are common, and frequently are present on plants 
with fruit.
