Mosses -- Great Britain

A. Per. teeth distantly articulate, without cilia: dioicous.

476. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) LATEBRICOLA. Bry. Eur. (_Leskea_, Bry. Brit.)
St. short, slender, sparsely branched, sub-erect; l. sub-secund
ovate-lanceolate, tapering acute, entire, slightly concave, decurrent,
faintly two-nerved; margin recurved; caps. elliptic-oblong, turbinate
when dry; lid short, acutely conical.

Moist shady woods, decaying trunks, and ferns. Winter.


     B. Per. teeth densely articulate, internal with entire ciliary
                               processes.


                            _a._ Monoicous.

477. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) PULCHELLUM. Dicks. St. short densely tufted,
sub-erect, br. fastigiate; l. crowded, secund, lanceolate, gradually
tapering from base to apex, entire, generally nerveless; caps. oblong,
sub-erect, curved; lid conical, scarcely beaked.

Mountainous shady rocks, &c. VI.—X.


478. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) MUHLENBECKII. B. &. S. St. short, tufted,
sub-erect, with recurved fasciculate branches; l. complanate, spreading,
deltoid-ovate or sub-cordate, tapering, dark green, finely serrulate,
nerveless, or shortly two-nerved; caps. oblong, slightly inclined,
tapering below, striate when dry; lid short conical.

Alpine rocks. S. I. VII.


479. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) SILESIACUM. Seliger. St. and branches
procumbent, the latter arcuate; l. secund, mostly pointing upwards,
ovate-lanceolate, longer tapering than the last, concave, distinctly
serrulate, slightly and shortly two-nerved; caps. long sub-cylindrical,
not striate when dry, curved, cernuous; lid conical pointed.

Stems of decaying trees, rocks, &c. IV. V.

Kent; Yorkshire.


480. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) DENTICULATUM. Dill. St. prostrate, with
sub-fasciculate branches; l. complanate, obliquely ovate pointed,
sometimes sub-serrulate at apex, margin recurved below, shortly
two-nerved; caps. oblong, sub-erect; lid acutely conical.

Sub-alpine woods, banks, wet rocks, &c. Summer.

 var. β. _obtusifolium._ l. elliptical, more or less obtuse, slightly
           concave. Alpine rocks.

      γ. _succulentum._ l. with almost plane margins: synoicous.
           Todmorden, Warrington.


                             _b._ Dioicous.

481. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) ELEGANS. Hook. St. prostrate, br. distichous,
fasciculate or pinnate; l. complanate, ovate-lanceolate, tapering to a
slender serrulate point, sometimes oblique, nerveless, or faintly
two-nerved; caps. small ovate elliptical, curved, more or less
pendulous; lid conical, shortly beaked.

Shady banks and rocks, usually barren. III. IV.

 var. β. _collinum._ “st. erect tufted; l. sub-secund.”


482. H. (PLAGIOTHECIUM) SYLVATICUM. Dill. St. longer, about 1 inch,
decumbent branched; l. sub-complanate, sometimes sub-secund,
ovate-lanceolate, not acuminate, entire, distinctly two-nerved nearly
half way; caps. cylindrical, curved, inclined, or horizontal; lid long,
shortly beaked.

Roots of trees in woods, &c. IX.
