Mosses -- Great Britain

371. B. (PHILONOTIS) CÆSPITOSA. Wils. MS. St. 1–2in. reddish, cæspitose,
radiculose below; l. falcato-secund, lanceolate acuminate, gradually
tapering from base upwards, concave, margins sub-serrulate not recurved,
nerved to apex, areolæ lax, largest at basal angles; perig. l. in a
stellate tuft, almost triangular from a very broad base, finely
sub-serrulate, nerved to apex.

Walton swamp, Cheshire (Wilson): male plant only.


372. B. (PHILONOTIS) ADPRESSA. Fergusson. “Plant widely cæspitose,
erect, 2–3in. either dull, glaucous green, or reddish; l. papillose,
erect when moist, with one wide plica on each side of nerve, incurved
towards apex, slightly twisted when dry, widely ovate from an
amplexicaul base, not acuminate, apex either obtuse or cucullate, with a
very slight mucro, or in the more slender forms rather acute, margin
denticulate slightly reflexed; nerve very thick continuous; areolæ
small, ovoid above, shorter and wider towards the base.” [G. E. Hunt.
Mem. Lit. & Sci. Soc., Manchester, vol. V., 102, 1872.]

Glen Prossen, &c., Clova (Fergusson); Glas Mheal, Perthshire 2500 ft.
(Hunt).


373. B. (PHILONOTIS) SERIATA. Mitt. _Musc. Ind. Orient._ “L. spirally
arranged, from a sub-erect base, patent towards apex, ovate acute
plicate, margin distinctly reflexed; areolæ linear above, small and
ovoid towards base; perig. l. from an erect dilated base, widely
spreading, cordatetriangular obtuse, areolæ small obscure
elongate-quadrangular, above large linear and reddish at base; nerve
thick, indistinct, continuous or vanishing below apex, margin slightly
denticulate.” [Hunt. loc. cit., p. 103.]

Springs at head of Clova; Ben-na-Bourd (Gardiner).


374. B. (PHILONOTIS) CALCAREA. B. & S. St. about 2in.; l.
ovate-lanceolate, tapering gradually from middle upwards, concave rigid
secund, margin serrulate, not reflexed, strongly nerved to apex; areolæ
large oblong, long hexagonal at base; perig. l. acute, triangular from a
broad erect base, nerved to apex: caps. sub-globose, inclined or
cernuous.

Wet places. VII.


               _c._ Branches dichotomous and fastigiate.


                              * monoicous.

375. B. POMIFORMIS. Hedw. St. ½–2in.; l. spreading linear-lanceolate,
not concave, doubly spinuloso-serrate, rough, crisp when dry, nerve
slightly excurrent; caps. sub-globose, cernuous, lid small conical.

Dry sandy banks. V.

 var. β. _crispa._ “l. longer, less crowded, branches often longer than
           fruit-stalk.”


376. B. HALLERIANA. Hedw. St. 1–3in., radiculose below; l. spreading or
secund, linear-subulate from a broad pale erect sheathing base, rough,
serrate, nerve excurrent; caps. sub-globose, on a short curved seta.

Moist alpine and sub-alpine rocks. VI. VII.


                             * * Synoicous.
