12. L. POLYTRICHOIDES (Hedw. Sp. Muse. t. 61, Hypnum). Synoica; 
caulis primarius repens, rami simplices divisive. Folia inferiora majora, 
superiora decrescentia, compressa, lateralia patenti-divergentia, margine 
inferiore a medio ad basin usque complicate inflexo, superiora angustiora 
subarcuata incurva appressa, media intermediaque erecto-patentia, late 
ovata, acuminata, asymmetrica, omnia nervis divergentibus infra medium 
evanidis, marginibus denticulis aculeiformibus serratis, cellulis oblongis 
utriculo contracto repletis, ad margines angustioribus. Fructus ex foliorum 
superiorum axillis. Folia perichetialia parva, ovalia, acumine serrulato. 
Theca in pedunculo brevi ultra apices foliorum lateralium haud exserto, 
oblonga, erecta, operculo elongate conico acutissimo, peristomio magno,
