A Synopsis of the British Mosses: Containing Descriptions of All the Genera and Species, (With Localities of the Rarer Ones) Found in Great Britain and Ireland, Based Upon Wilson's "Bryologia Britannica," Schimper's "Synopsis," Etc.
Hobkirk, Charles C. P. (Charles Codrington Pressick)
Mosses -- Great Britain
556. F. ANTIPYRETICA. L. St. very long, often 1ft., with long spreading
branches; l. ovate-lanceolate, very concave, keeled, nerveless, all on
each branch with one margin reflexed on the same side, the other plane,
sometimes serrulate near apex; caps. oval or ovate, immersed; lid long
conical acute.
Streams and stagnant water. VI. VII.
557. F. SQUARROSA. L. St. shorter, but elongate; br. numerous, crowded
fasciculate, not spreading; l. lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, concave,
not keeled, margin not reflexed, nerveless, entire; caps. similar to
last.
Mountain rivulets. VI. VII.
90. DICHELYMA. MYRIN.
558. D. CAPILLACEUM. Dicks. St. 3–6in. slender, brittle, with a few
distichous spreading branches; l. erecto-patent, secund,
subulate-setaceous, keeled, with a long excurrent nerve; per. l. long
convolute, nerveless; caps. short oval, almost immersed; lid large
conical, beaked.
Alpine rivulets. Summer.
APPENDIX.
I. ADDITIONAL SPECIES.
SPHAGNUM LARICINUM. Spruce. (_S. neglectum_, Angst.) St. 4–6in. solid,
_the bark_ pale, of 2–3 layers of cells. Br. fascicles more or less
crowded, of 3–4 br., of which one or two are divergent, the others
pendent, but not appressed nor acute. St. l. small ovate, cucullate at
apex, at last minutely fimbriate, patent or reflexed; basal cells
hyaline utricular, the middle and lateral very narrow, the apical
rhomboid, with scarcely any fibres or pores; br. l. sub-secund, recurved
at point, ovate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the point with 3–5
teeth, margin recurved above, rather broadly bordered; hyaline cells
serpentine elongate, with many threads and pores; caps. scarcely
exserted. [Dr. Braithwaite, Monthly Micros. Jour., 1872, p. 159.]
Deep bogs.
Terrington Carr, Yorkshire, 1846 (Spruce); Holyhead (Wilson); Braemar,
1868 (Hunt).
DICRANUM UNDULATUM. Ehr. St. naked and decumbent at base; l. patulous,
upper falcato-secund or appressed and slightly secund from a broad
oblong base, lanceolate, gradually narrowed into a dagger-shaped point
ending somewhat abruptly in the acute apex, beautifully undulate in the
upper half, carinate; margin revolute below, coarsely serrate above with
spinulose irregular teeth; nerve flattened, narrow and extended to apex,
narrowly two-winged and _serrate_ at back; cells elongate oblong or
elongate hexagonal, those of central base sub-quadrate and hyaline. [Dr.
Braithwaite, in _Grevillea_, i., 108.]
Stockton Forest, near York, 1842 (Spruce); again 1872 (Mr. Anderson). It
has doubtless been frequently overlooked or mistaken for _D. scoparium_
or _D. Bonjeanii_ (_palustre_).
