[Cynodontium polycarpum, Schp. Hardy (M.Fl.) records this as 

 " Frequent among shady rocks in the heart of the "Bizzle, and in 

 Henhole ; on walls about Langleyford ; also on Careburn rocks ; on 

 Cunion Crags ; and on the House of Crag." I cannot help feeling some 

 doubt as to the above ; G. polycarpum is certainly a rare plant with us, 

 even in the Scotch Highlands, where it is most at home ; it is, as 

 Braithwaite remarks, easily confused with G. Bruntoni, and has frequently 

 been so confused by the early writers, owing partly to faulty descriptions 

 and figures in the older text-books. Two of Hardy's localities are cited 

 by Braithwaite, but in neither case was a specimen seen by him. 

 I am strongly inclined to the opinion that C. polycarpum should, in 

 default of a Northumberland specimen, be considered a doubtful 

 inhabitant.]
