MADOTHECA RIVULARIS Nees 
A more common species than J/. platyphylla, and widely 
distributed: except in the west side of the Highlands. It is 
uncommon in the West Lowlands, though found in several 
places, mostly subalpine, but not in the Clyde valley 
above the Lanark neighbourhood. In the East Lowlands it 
is frequent and locally common, but has not yet been found 
in the higher parts of the Tweed valley. It is generally 
distributed throughout the East Highlands, except near its 
western boundary, and is common in some districts, but is 
rare in parts at least of the Spey valley. Throughout the 
West Highlands it is very rare, having only been found in 
a few localities in the Clyde area, but not north of it, nor 
in the Hebrides, nor the west side of the North Highlands. 
It appears to be rare throughout the last province, and has 
not been found in Orkney, and in only one locality in 
Shetland, this being as the var. furoensis Jens. 
This species is most frequent on the low ground, being 
uncommon on the hills, but ascends to 3200 ft. alt. It 
forms dark-green, occasionally yellow-green patches on 
rocks, or sometimes about the roots of trees at the sides 
of streams, and on moist shady rocks on the hills. Fruit 
is rare, and has been noted as mature in October and 
November.
