Mosses -- Great Britain

409. L. SMITHII. Brid. St. 1–3in. creeping, branches pinnate or
bipinnate; l. ovate, rounded and obtuse at apex, entire, margin recurved
below, nerved more than half way; per. l. erect ovate-subulate; caps.
elliptical horizontal on a short curved seta; lid with an oblique beak.

Trees. Devon, &c. IV.


                         76. ANOMODON. H. & T.

410. A. VITICULOSUS. H. & T. St. 1–2in. from a creeping rhizome rigid;
l. more or less secund or spreading from an ovate base lingulate or
subulate, obtuse, entire, nerve pellucid, almost reaching apex; caps.
almost cylindrical erect, on a yellowish seta; lid large conical
rostrate.

Shady limestone rocks, trees. XI.


411. A. ATTENUATUS. Hueb. (_Hypnum_, Schreb. _Leskea_, Hedwig.) St.
1–2in. procumbent with incurved branches; l. imbricate, sometimes
secund, ovate-lanceolate from a narrow base, acute, scarcely nerved to
apex; per. l. narrower nerveless; areolæ minute opaque; caps.
cylindrical erect; lid conical, with an oblique beak: dioicous.

Damp rocks and rotten tree trunks. Den of Airlie, Forfarshire
(Fergusson), 1868.


412. A. LONGIFOLIUS. Hartm. Rhizomes slenderer than No. 410, branches
sub-fasciculate; l. somewhat secund, from an ovate base lanceolate
tapering, very acute, nerved to apex; caps. ovate-oblong on a short
seta; lid large conical rostellate.

Scotch mountains; fr. not found in Britain. Autumn.


                          77. HABRODON. SCHP.

413. H. NOTARISII. Schpr. (_Pterogonium perpusillum_, De Not.) St.
creeping, irregularly branched; l. spreading squarrose opaque, imbricate
and shining when dry, from an ovate base longly acuminate, nerveless,
entire; per. l. internal with erose margins; caps. oval-oblong erect,
slightly striate, and contracted at mouth when dry; lid conical erose.
[Supp. Bry. Eur. fasc. III. IV.]

Trunks of elm and white thorn. Spring.

Windermere and Devon (J. Nowell); Killin, Perthshire (A. McKinlay),
July, 1865; Ben Lawers (Hunt).


                        78. PTEROGONIUM. SWARTZ.

414. PT. FILIFORME. Hedw. St. creeping, with incurved fasciculate
branches; l. imbricate or secund, elliptical, concave, papillose at
back, serrulate at pointed apex, margin recurved; nerved half way, or
shortly two-nerved at base; caps. elliptical erect; lid conical,
obliquely rostrate.

Mountainous rocks and tree trunks. S. I. Spring.


415. PT. GRACILE. Sw. Rhizome creeping, with arcuate stems, and incurved
fasciculate branches; l. spreading, (appressed when dry) ovate, concave,
acute, serrate near apex, margin not recurved, slightly two-nerved at
base; caps. oblong, longer and thicker than last; lid conical, shorter,
not rostrate.

Shady sub-alpine rocks and walls, and trees. XI.


                         79. ISOTHECIUM. BRID.
