Mosses -- Great Britain

B. L. striate.

425. L. SERICEA. Dill. St. 1in. or more, creeping, branched; branches
erect, curved; l. imbricate, sub-secund, lanceolate, long tapering,
scarcely nerved to apex; areolæ very narrow; caps. almost erect,
cylindrical, tapering above, on a rough seta; lid conical, obliquely
beaked: dioicous.

Walls, rocks, and trunks of trees. XI.–III.


426. L. RUFESCENS. Hall. St. 1–3in. erect, branched, with reddish brown
foliage; l. imbricate, almost erect, lanceolate, long tapering, often
almost piliferous, nerveless, margins plane; caps. generally erect
cylindrical, on a long smooth seta; lid shortly conical: dioicous.

Moist shady alpine rocks. S. X.

427. L. SUBRUFA. Wils. St. about 1in. or less, erect, branched; foliage,
young green, older brownish; l. almost erect, sub-secund, lanceolate,
long tapering, nerveless, entire; caps. ovate, tapering below, almost
erect; lid conical pointed; dioicous. Fruit not found in Britain.

Sub-alpine rocks. Summer.


                           83. HYPNUM. DILL.


_Sub-genus_ I. THUYIDIUM. St. erect, pinnate or bipinnate, with numerous
    branched villi; l. densely papillose on the back; nerve single.


                        _a._ St. simply pinnate.

428. H. (THUYIDIUM.) ABIETINUM. Dill. St. 2–4in. rigid, reddish, not
always erect; br. slightly drooping crowded; l. imbricate,
erecto-patent, more or less secund; st. l. ovate or cordate acuminate,
serrulate near apex, plicate; br. l. narrower, less plicate; all
papillose on back and keel, nerved nearly to apex; areolæ dot-like;
caps. oblong-cylindrical, arcuate, cernuous; lid conical: dioicous.

Alpine rocks, chalk hills, &c. Spring.


429. H. (THUYIDIUM) BLANDOVII. W. & M. St. 3in. erect, flexible; br.
slender, spreading; l. loosely imbricate, erect from a spreading base,
broadly ovate or sub-cordate, acute, narrowed at base almost to a
pedicel, keeled, serrulate, not papillose on keel, thinly nerved nearly
to apex, margin recurved: areolæ larger, sub-hexagonal; caps. oblong,
curved, cernuous; lid conical, with a blunt point: monoicous.

Bogs, rare. V.

430. H. (THUYIDIUM) DECIPIENS. De Not. (_H. rigidulum._ Ferg.) St.
2–4in. rigid, villous, with short attenuate branches; st. l. distant,
sub-squarrose, deltoid-ovate, suddenly acuminate auricled, concave
serrate, papillose on both sides, sometimes secund above; br. l.
smaller, crowded, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, spreading or secund, nerved
half way or more; areolæ large hexagonal and pellucid at base, above
oval-elongate confused (Fergusson).

Springs and streams. Ben Lawers (Dr. Stirton), 1866; Clova, 2800 ft.
(Fergusson), 1868; Auchinblae, 800 ft. (Sim and Fergusson); Glas Mheal,
Perthshire, 2500 ft. (G. E. Hunt). All barren.


                 _b._ St. bi- or tri-pinnate: dioicous.
