Mosses -- Great Britain

436. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) MILDEANUM. Schp. St. ½ to 1in. erect branched;
l. sub-erect, long lanceolate, gradually tapering from a broadish base
into a long slender point, almost piliferous, plicate when dry, margins
plane, thinly nerved more than half way; areolæ long and narrow, broader
at base and quadrate at basal angles; caps. obovate-oblong or
unsymmetrical, much curved cernuous, constricted at mouth when dry, on a
red twisted seta; lid conical, tapering to a blunt apex, tipped with an
apiculus.

Sands. Southport, Fifeshire, Dublin, Cornwall. X. XI.


437. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) SALEBROSUM. Hoffm. St. 1–2in. procumbent
sub-pinnate; l. shortly ovate-acuminate, serrulate, only slightly
striate, nerved more than half way; caps. ovate cernuous curved, lid
conical, scarcely beaked: monoicous.

Trees. XI.

Near Kirkham Abbey, Yorks. (R. Spruce); Sussex (Mitten).


438. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) GLAREOSUM. Bruch. St. about 2in. sub-procumbent,
branches sometimes sub-pinnate; l. erecto-patent from an ovate base,
gradually tapering into a long slender, sometimes twisted, sub-serrulate
apex, margin reflexed below; caps. ovate-oblong, cernuous arcuate; lid
conical, with a distinct beak: dioicous.

Woods and shady banks. XI.


439. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) ALBICANS. Dill. St. about 2in. upright; l.
spreading, appressed when dry, ovate-acuminate, concave, entire, nerved
more than half way; caps. ovate small, scarcely curved, cernuous, on a
slender seta; young foliage pale green, greyish brown below: dioicous.

Sandy grassy places. XI. XII.


                            _b._ Seta rough.

440. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) VELUTINUM. Dill. St. short creeping, with erect
branches; l. sub-secund, ovate-lanceolate, prolonged into a short
serrulate taper point; nerved half way or more, margin reflexed below;
per. l. almost piliferous; caps. roundish ovate cernuous; lid conical
pointed; monoicous.

Walls, sandy hedge banks, roots of trees, &c. XI. XII.


441. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) REFLEXUM. Seliger. St. more or less arched,
procumbent, and rooting at extremities; branches sub-pinnate, slender,
incurved; l. shortly ovate-cordate, acuminate, serrate, nerved almost or
quite to apex, margin reflexed, areolæ large; caps. small, roundish
ovate, horizontal; lid conical pointed: monoicous.

Scottish mountains. Spring.


442. H. (BRACHYTHECIUM) RUTABULUM. Dill. St. long, loosely tufted,
procumbent, and rooting at extremities, with erect branches; l. ovate,
concave, acuminate, serrulate, striate when dry; thinly nerved, above
half way; caps. ovate-oblong, arcuate, cernuous on a very rough seta;
lid bluntly pointed: monoicous.

Banks, walls, and trees. Common. IX.—III.

 var. δ. _plumulosum._ Sch. l. narrower, tapering, not acuminate. Sands,
           Southport.
