Most probably this species is distril)uted throughout our whole country; 

 but its distribution on the south coast is unknown, and on the west coast 

 little known. It is a common species, but usually rather scarce at each 

 station. 



It grows on naked earth at shaded places, and prefers chalky and 

 slaty ground. It descends to the level of the sea, but it is more common 

 in subalpine positions, e. g. in the gieat valleys. Havaas never collected 

 it above the upper forest line in Western Norway, but in Eastern Norway 

 it considerably surpasses this line (Dovre up to 1300 m. or morel. In 

 Northern Norwav it is common down to the level of the sea.

 it becomes less common northwards, and no specimen has been recorded 

 north (east) of Alten in Finmark.
