Mosses -- Great Britain

301. (10) B. MARRATTII. St. about ¼in. gregarious; l. broadly
elliptical, blunt-pointed entire; per. l. narrower and longer; caps.
small turbinate almost globose, tapering at neck into the slender seta,
from which it is pendulous; lid bluntly beaked; perist. outer red, inner
imperfect, adhering to outer.

Southport, 1854. IX.


302. (11) E. CALOPHYLLUM. R. Br. St. about ¼in. reddish gregarious; l.
broadly elliptical or ovate, sharply pointed, concave, entire, almost
nerved to apex; caps. oval-oblong, neck not tapering, pendulous; lid
small conical, slightly pointed; per. teeth outer brownish, inner free,
mostly without cilia.

Southport, with the last. IX.


                               SECT. III.

303. (12) B. LACUSTRE. Brid. St. ¼in. cæspitose; l. lower
ovate-apiculate, upper ovate-lanceolate, all entire, very concave,
margins recurved; per. l. narrower; caps. roundish pyriform, with a
tapering neck, slightly pendulous; lid small pointed; annulus present;
inner perist. partially adherent, sometimes with cilia; synoicous.

Moist sandy places. Yarmouth; Suffolk. V. VI.


304. (13) B. WARNEUM. Bland. St. about ¼in. tufted; branched; l.
ovate-acuminate, scarcely concave, serrate at apex, margins recurved;
caps. obovate pyriform pendulous, bordered at mouth when dry; lid small
convex pointed; inner perist. with cilia: monoicous or synoicous.

Muddy places. Scotland, Southport. VIII. IX.


305. (14) B. PSEUDOTRIQUETRUM. Schw. St. 1–3in, branched, erect; l.
lower ovate-lanceolate, upper narrower and longer concave, all bordered,
margins recurved, occasionally serrulate at apex, and slightly
decurrent; nerve sometimes excurrent; caps. sub-cylindrical, pendulous;
lid small mammillate.

Wet mountainous rocks. S. W. VII.


306. (15) B. NEODAMENSE. Itzig. Regensb. Fl. 1841, I. (p. 360.) St.
slender, cæspitose and tomentose elongate, reddish and almost naked
below, leafy above; l. lower roundish oblong obtuse, apex and margins
involute; upper crowded, shortly oblong, inflated at base, margins
revolute below, all cucullate; caps. oblong-pyriform pendulous, on a
long seta.

Southport Sands, where liable to inundation.


307. (16) B. ALPINUM. L. St. ½–2in. cæspitose simple; l. imbricate
lanceolate, margins recurved, serrulate at apex; caps. oblong-pyriform
pendulous, deep red, on a bent and arcuate seta, lid mammillate; whole
plant reddish and shining.

Sub-alpine moist rocks, fr. rare. VI.


308. (17) B. MUHLENBECKII. B. & S. St. ½in. or more; tufted, branched,
radiculose; l. almost elliptical, blunt-pointed, conical, almost
cucullate at apex, margin reflexed; nerved almost to apex; caps. oblong
tapering, pendulous, reddish brown; lid convex pointed.

Scotch mountains (Dr. C. Smith and Dr. Stirton).
