Hah. Common in dry heathy and rocky pastures, especially in mountain countries. 
This is the most common of our British Club-Mosses, and a 
widely dispersed species in other countries; throughout Europe 
and in Asiatic Russia and Siberia; through North America to

Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru; throughout India 
(probably there and in all tropical regions as a mountain plant); 
Malay Islands and Peninsula {Parish), Japan, Thunberg; Africa, 
chiefly, I believe, confined to the Cape, Bourbon, Mauritius, and 
Madagascar. Were exotic specimens at this time specially the 
objects of consideration, it would not be difficult to find other
