Mosses -- Great Britain

456. H. (EURYNCHIUM) STRIATUM. Hedw. Much larger than the last in all
its parts; stems loosely tufted, arched, sub-pinnate; branches drooping;
l. gradually tapering from a broad cordate base, almost squarrose,
serrate, striate, nerved more than half way; caps. almost cylindrical,
curved, cernuous; lid large, with a long slender curved beak: dioicous.

Woods and shady banks. XII.


                             2. Seta rough.

457. H. (EURYNCHIUM) CRASSINERVIUM. Tayl. St. creeping, branches erect;
l. spreading ovate, sharply pointed serrate concave, margin reflexed,
nerve thick, reaching more than half way, sometimes forked: caps.
elliptic-oblong small curved, cernuous; lid large, with a very long
slender oblique beak; dioicous.

Shady limestone rocks. XI.


458. H. (EURYNCHIUM) PILIFERUM. Vaill. St. 2–3in. slender, procumbent,
branched; l. imbricate erecto-patent, elliptical serrulate, suddenly
contracted into a long serrulate, almost piliferous point, concave,
nerved half way; caps. oblong cernuous, slightly arcuate, lid with a
long beak.

Shady banks and woods. Fr. rare. XI.


459. H. (EURYNCHIUM) CIRRHOSUM. Schwg. Stems erect or procumbent, with a
few erect branches; l. imbricate elliptic, more oblong than the last (of
which it may be only a variety, though very different in many points),
entire except the long narrow points, which are serrulate and suddenly
geniculate or reflexed where the point joins the blade; concave, nerved
half way. Never been found in fruit.

Summit of Ben Lawers, 1823 (Dr. Arnott).


_b._ _Prælongæ._ l. opaque, scarcely sulcate, areolæ almost as broad as
                           long; seta rough.


                              * Synoicous.

460. H. (EURYNCHIUM) SPECIOSUM. Brid. St. creeping, with short erect,
almost complanate branches; l. ovate serrulate, nerved almost to acute
apex, bright green; caps. ovate or obovate, cernuous; lid with a long
pointed beak.

Stones near springs, sometimes in water. XII.


                             * * Dioicous.

461. H. (EURYNCHIUM) PRŒLONGUM. Dill. St. long, arched or procumbent,
often bipinnate, branches slender; l. squarrose recurved, broadly
cordate, and suddenly tapering to a long point, amplexicaul, nerve
carried nearly to base of point; br. l. lanceolate acuminate, all
serrate: per. l. nerveless; caps. small oval-oblong, obliquely cernuous;
lid with a long tapering slender beak.

Moist shady banks. XI.


462. H. (EURYNCHIUM) HIANS. Hedw. Sp. Musc. 272. t. 70. L. roundish
ovate, spreading, areolæ large. [Mueller Syn. II., 447.]

Sussex (Mr. Mitten).

463. H. (EURYNCHIUM) PUMILUM. Wils. St. creeping, filiform; br. slender,
sub-pinnate sub-complanate; l. minute ovate, shortly pointed, spreading
sub-serrulate, faintly nerved half way; per. l. smaller, recurved; caps.
short roundish ovate, cernuous; lid rather large, with an oblique beak.

Shady rocks and hedge banks. E. S. I. XI.
