CALYPOGEIA Raddi

CALYPOGEIA TRICHOMANIS (L.) Corda

Kantia Trichomanis (L.) Gray

Generally distributed and frequent from Dumfries toShetland. Is frequent in many parts of the Lowlands,especially in the Southern Uplands above 1200 ft. alt. ;in some districts of the Lowlands it is rare on the lowground. It is common in the East Highlands on the lowground and frequent on the hills, ascending to 3000 ft.alt. in Mid Perth. Is rather common in the WestHighlands, where it has been found to 2500 ft. alt., andis common in the Hebrides. It is also common in theNorth Highlands, and is at least frequent in Orkney andShetland. The comparative frequency of this species andC. fissa is difficult to state. In some districts one species ismore common, and in another not far removed the otheris the more common. In general it may be said thatC. fissa is the more common in the south-west and westcounties and Hebrides, while C. Trichomanis is the morecommon in the centre, east, and north of the country andin Shetland. On the hills the latter species is much thecommoner and ascends to a higher altitude. C. fissa isuncommon on the hills, and has not been found above2300 ft. alt. This species grows on loamy and peatybanks, stumps, in flat pale-green patches, and as scatteredstems among Sphagnum. Is found on limestone as wellas other rocks. Fruit, mature from April to June, isfrequent. Gemma are often abundant.
