Mosses -- Great Britain

309. (18) B. TURBINATUM. Hedw. St. ½–3in. sometimes branched; l. lower
ovate-lanceolate, upper longer and narrower, concave, margins not
recurved; nerve not always reaching apex; caps. globoso-pyriform
pendulous, when dry contracted at mouth, reddish brown; lid convex
pointed.

Manchester; Fakenham; Norfolk. VI. VII.

 var. β. _prælongum._ st. elongate, l. pale green, caps. ventricose
           larger.


310. (19) B. LATIFOLIUM. Schl. (_B. turbinatum_, var. γ, Bry. Brit.) St.
elongate, decumbent at base; l. imbricate, broadly oblong acuminate,
very concave, shining, serrulate at apex, margined, nerve excurrent;
caps. longer than the last, on a long seta, geniculate at base. [Schp.
Syn., 380. Bry. Eur., IV., t. 372.]

Boggy places. VI.—VIII.

Ben More; Shetland (McKinlay).


311. (20) B. DUVALII. Voigt. St. tufted, decumbent when old, elongate,
branched; l. patulous, remote, broadly ovate-lanceolate, decurrent,
cirrhate when dry, scarcely nerved to apex; per. l. inner lanceolate
erect; caps. obovate-oblong regular pendulous from a long slender seta,
contracted at mouth when dry; lid mammillate. [Bry. Eur., IV., t. 371.]

Boggy places. VIII. IX.

Glen Lyon, Ben Lawers, Hartfell, Helvellyn.


312. (21) B. PALLENS. Swartz. St. ¼–1in. branched; l. reddish, remote
patulous ovate-lanceolate, slightly decurrent, keeled, serrulate at
apex, margins thickened and recurved, nerve almost excurrent; caps.
oblong pyriform, with a long tapering neck, pendulous, mouth small, but
not contracted; lid small convex, pointed.

Near springs and ditches. VI.

 var. β. _microstomum._ “caps, regular, sub-clavate, mouth smaller.”


313. (22) B. BARBATUM. Wils. MS. St. about 1in. branched, slender, red,
and copiously beset with reddish brown radicles from base to summit; l.
sub-erect, ovate, rather suddenly tapering into a longish sparsely
toothed subula, uppermost broader, more shortly pointed, spreading, all
concave, strongly nerved, margins plane, not recurved; areolæ very lax
and transparent. The only specimen I have bears no fruit.

Ben Ledi (Dr. Stirton).


                               SECT. IV.

314. (23) B. ULIGINOSUM. B. & S., St. ½–1in. cæspitose, branched; l.
green oval-lanceolate, tapering at both ends, margin reflexed below,
excurrent nerve toothed; caps. clavate unequal pendulous, tapering into
the long curved seta; mouth oblique; lid convex pointed.

Wet places near streams. VIII.


315. (24) B. PALLESCENS. Schw. St. 1–2in. branched, cæspitose, with
purplish radicles below; l. ovate-lanceolate, margin reflexed, generally
serrate at apex; upper with nerve scarcely excurrent, lower reddish;
caps. pyriform, pendulous, tapering, contracted at mouth when dry; lid
conical pointed; inner perist. with cilia.

Rocks and walls. VII. VIII.

 var. β. _boreale._ caps. smaller, sub-erect.

      γ. _contextum._ st. long, much branched; caps. ventricose,
           shorter, sub-pendulous.
