Abundant in wet and marshy places, from the sea-shore to 
the summits of the higher mountains, particularly loving to 
luxuriate about the boggy sources of alpine springs and rivu- 
lets. Such a spot is termed a “ ivell-ee ,” and is generally 
filled with mosses and flowering plants peculiar to marshes. 
/3. major , Willd, is not unfrequent, and I gathered it in 
the old shieling at Loch Wharral in July 1846.
