Mosses -- Great Britain

225. R. MICROCARPON. Brid. St. slender fasciculate with short branches;
l. spreading falcato-secund, lanceolate tapering to a short point,
areolæ all long and sinuous; caps. small ovate, thin and pale, with a
robust rostrate lid.

Highlands of Scotland.


226. R. LANUGINOSUM. Brid. St. very long and slender, fasciculate; l.
lanceolate tapering into a long strongly dentate point, sometimes secund
or spreading from an erect base; areolæ sinuous; caps. small ovoid, on a
short roughish seta, and with a long straight rostrate lid; calyp.
papillose above.

Mountains, walls, rocks, and heaths. III.


227. R. CANESCENS. Brid. St. 2–4in. decumbent at base; l.
ovate-lanceolate tapering into a long denticulate point, recurved from
an erect base, areolæ sinuous; caps. ovoid eight-striate when dry, with
a very long subulate lid; calyp. papillose above.

Stony and sandy heaths. III.

 var. β. _prolixum._ older innovations only with fasciculate ramuli.

      γ. _ericoides._ covered with fasciculate ramuli; l. squarrose.


                       34. GLYPHOMITRIUM. SCHWG.

228. G. DAVIESII. Schwg. St. ½in. cæspitose; l. linear-lanceolate
spreading entire, margin thickened and reflexed below, strongly nerved
to apex, areolæ minute, larger at base; caps. erect, almost globose,
with a reddish mouth and long rostrate lid; per. teeth converging when
moist, reflexed when dry; calyp. large, laciniate at base.

Clefts of rocks. VI. VII.

Giant’s Causeway; Llanberis; Glenarbuck, May, 1863 (W. Galt and
McCartney); New Kilpatrick, Killin (McKinlay); Ardtun Mull (Dr. Black);
Skye (Hunt); Blairlogie; Craigallion; Campsie Hills (Thompson and Galt).


                       35. PTYCHOMITRIUM. B. & S.

229. P. POLYPHYLLUM. B. & S. St. ½in. tufted; l. linear-lanceolate from
a broadish base, spreading, nerved to the dentate acute apex; caps.
elliptical on a long twisted seta; calyp. plicate; lid long subulate.

Mountainous rocks and walls. III. IV.


                       36. ORTHOTRICHUM. B. & S.


  A. Caps. on a very short seta, immersed or shortly exserted; ochrea
               distinct, calyptra with about ten furrows.


                       1. Caps. with 16 furrows.

230. O. CUPULATUM. Hoffm. St. under 1in.; l. spreading lanceolate
keeled, lower brownish, nerve distinct; caps. obovate, urceolate when
dry, with a shortly beaked lid; calyp. hairy; perist. simple, of 16 free
equidistant teeth, spreading when dry.

Rocks and walls. IV. V.


                      2. Caps. with eight furrows.

231. O. STURMII. Hop. & Hornsch. In loose cushions; st. short and erect,
or longer and prostrate; l. patent and recurved when moist, incumbent
when dry; margin subrevolute, acutely costato-carinate; caps. generally
immersed, obovate, with eight obsolete striæ, when dry eight-ribbed and
constricted below the mouth; calyp. more or less hairy, shining; per.
teeth simple 16 equidistant, erect when dry, slightly incurved. [Bry.
Eur. III., t. 109.]

Trap rocks. S. I. (Dr. Wood.) Summer.
