Mosses -- Great Britain

_a._ _Striatæ._ l. sub-scariose, shining, more or less distinctly
                    sulcate; areolæ long and narrow.


                            1. Seta smooth.

449. H. (EURYNCHIUM) MYOSUROIDES. L. (_Isothecium myosuroides._ Bry.
Brit. 323.) St. slender; branches fasciculate incurved; l. somewhat
spreading, from an ovate base lanceolate acuminate, serrulate, nerved
more than half way; caps. elliptic-oblong, more or less inclined, on a
twisted or curved seta; lid conical, with a short beak: dioicous.

Trunks of trees and rocks. XI.


450. H. (EURYNCHIUM) STRIGOSUM. Hoffm. St. 1in. sub-erect or creeping,
scarcely pinnate; l. roundish ovate or cordate, concave, rather obtuse,
serrate, nerved above half way, margin recurved below; caps.
sub-cylindrical, curved, small; lid conical, with a longish curved beak:
parasitico-monoicous.

Roots of trees, rocks, &c. XI.

Cornwall (Tozer in Herb. Hook.) Spring.


451. H. (EURYNCHIUM) DIMORPHUM. Brid. St. 1–2in. procumbent, branches
very slender, more or less pinnate; st. l. ovate-acuminate, spreading
recurved; br. l. ovate, concave obtuse, sub-erect, all serrulate and
shortly two-nerved; areolæ quadrate on margin, the rest larger, longer
and less opaque; caps. oblong, almost horizontal; lid conical, without
beak: dioicous.

Ben Lawers. Barren. Summer (?)


452. H. (EURYNCHIUM) CATENULATUM. Schwg. St. about ½in. creeping, with
erect very slender branches; l. very small, ovate acute, entire concave,
margin recurved below, broadly nerved half way or more; caps.
oval-oblong slightly curved, sub-erect or cernuous; lid large, with a
distinct beak: dioicous.

Alpine and sub-alpine rocks.

                                                                 Summer.

Scotland; Yorkshire. Fr. not known in Britain.


453. H. (EURYNCHIUM) HETEROPTERUM. Bruch. St. procumbent, more or less
pinnate, often rooting at apex; l. ovate-acuminate, small, more or less
secund, denticulate, somewhat papillose at back; nerved singly half way,
or short and forked; caps. oblong, scarcely curved, almost erect; lid
with a long beak: dioicous.

Moist rocks near waterfalls. XI.

Ireland, Wales, Todmorden.


454. H. (EURYNCHIUM) CIRCINNATUM. Brid. St. short, sub-erect arched:
branches curved and drooping; l. very small ovate, pointed, sub-secund,
serrulate at apex, thickly nerved nearly to apex; areolæ oval, smaller
and quadrate at base; caps. oblong cernuous, curved; lid large, with a
long oblique or curved beak: dioicous.

Shady limestone rocks and walls. III.


455. H. (EURYNCHIUM) STRIATULUM. Spruce. St. short creeping, tufted;
branches short crowded, erect; l. erecto-patent, ovate, long taper
pointed, serrate, sub-striate, strongly nerved more than half way; basal
areolæ opaque minute; caps. oblong cernuous; lid roundish, with a long
pointed beak: dioicous.

Shady limestone rocks and roots of trees. XII.
