Hab. Mountainous bogs in Ireland, and the north of Scotland, not uncommon. — It is 
particularly abundant about Cape Wrath, in the north-western extremity of the county of 
Sutherland, mixed with Arbutus alpina. 
Plant growing in large, but loosely-entangled patches of many inches in diameter. 
Stems, in their natural state, procumbent, but, when the plants grow thickly crowded or 
intermingled with tall mosses, not unfrequently erect : in length, they vary from four to 
six inches, and are about as thick as common packthread, iiexuose, simple, or here and 
there beset vvith a small undivided innovation, which, for the most part, occurs towards 
the extremity. The color is a yellowish brown; the texture rigid, anti brittle when dry. 
Leaves very closely placed, and imbricated alternately, and with much regularity oier the 
whole upper surface of the stem, so that they altogether conceal it: they are remarkably 
convex, distichous, with their apices incurved and looking one tvay (f. 3 ) , as do the 
whole of the leaves occasionally in the fresh plant, and always in the diied ones, in which 
state the points of the leaves meet each other, and cover the auricles : the figure of the 
leaves is round, or approaching to ovate; at the upper margin, near its insertion upon the
