Mosses -- Great Britain

416. I. MYURUM. Dill. St. 1–2in. from a creeping stoloniferous rhizome,
with fasciculate branches; l. elliptical concave, not tapering but
serrulate at apex, nerved half way, singly or forked; per. l. erect;
caps. ovate, erect, with a long rostrate lid: dioicous.

Trees and rocks. X.


                         80. CLIMACIUM. W. & M.

417. C. DENDROIDES. W. & M. St. 1–3in. erect, with long spreading
branches; l. ovate-lanceolate, serrulate at apex: st. l. acute, br. l.
obtuse, nerved nearly to apex; per. l. nerveless, entire; caps. erect
ovate-oblong, with a pointed beak.

Boggy places. X.–I.


                     81. CYLINDROTHECIUM. BRY. EUR.

418. C. MONTAGNEI. Bry. Eur. Müller. St. 1–2in., branches pinnate,
recurved, cuspidate; l. elliptical acute entire, rather obtuse, faintly
two-nerved at base, margin recurved below; marginal basal cells large
and pellucid; caps. cylindrical, erect, on a long seta, and with a blunt
lid: dioicous.

Limestone hills. S. E. Autumn.


                            82. LESKEA. HED.


                           A. L. not striate.


               _a._ l. nerveless, or faintly two-nerved.

419. L. MONILIFORMIS. Wahl. St. ½in. slender tufted, branched; l.
imbricate, nearly round, obtuse, very concave, nerveless, denticulate at
base; per. l. ovate-lanceolate; caps. almost erect, small, oval-oblong,
with a short beak.

Alpine rocks. E. S. I. Summer.


420. L. APICULATA. Hueb. [_Myurella._] Loosely cæspitose, soft and
fragile; l. loosely imbricate or patent, ovate, very concave, often with
a recurved apiculus, opaque; perist. pale, small. [Bryol. Eur., v. t.
560.]

Moist rocky ground. Ben Lawers. Summer.


421. L. MICANS. Wils. [_Hypnum._ Bry. Brit. 402.] St. prostrate, very
slender, filiform, branched; l. almost orbicular, concave, apiculate,
serrulate, sometimes faintly two-nerved at base; fruit not known.

Shady rocks. S. of Ireland.


422. L. POLYANTHA. Hedw. Stem short creeping, branched; branches
incurved above; l. crowded sub-secund, ovate-acuminate, suddenly
apiculate, with apiculus sometimes slightly serrulate, nerveless; caps.
elliptic-oblong erect, broader below, with a conical bluntish lid and
long calyptra: monoicous.

Trees. E. S. W. VII. VIII.


                            _b._ l. nerved.

423. L. PULVINATA. Wahl. St. ½in. procumbent, slenderly branched; l.
imbricate elliptic-ovate, narrowed below, concave entire, nerved half
way, or two-nerved at base; areolæ large, almost hexagonal; per. l.
nerveless; caps. almost erect, oval-oblong; lid conical pointed, falling
early: monoicous.

Roots of trees near rivers, &c. V. VI.


424. L. POLYCARPA. Ehr. St. longer, densely tufted; almost pinnately
branched; l. imbricate, sub-secund, ovate, tapering, stoutly nerved
nearly to apex, margin entire, reflexed below; per. l. erect, striate;
caps. cylindrical, erect, lid conical acute: monoicous.

Roots of trees. V. VI.

 var. β. _paludosa_, generally more lax; caps. longer.
