Found on the Continent and Madeira. 



Obs. — At once distinguished from any of the other known 

 British Scapanice by its paroicous inflorescence, the antheridia 

 being found in the bracts immediately below the perianth, whicli 

 is very rarely the case with any of this genus. 



Apart from its inflorescence it is a very distinct species, its 

 compact habit, almost equal lobes of leaves and bracts, its habitat, 

 mud-covered walls and clayey banks in the plains, often near the 

 coast, readily enable the student to identify it.
