K. sphagnicola usually occurs creeping in single surcles 

 in tufts of Sphagniun^ at times, however small and pure 

 tufts may be found on the surface of the lastmentioucd 

 mosses; the habitus varies somewhat according to these 

 different ways of occurrence. The single surcles have a 

 longer, almost always unbranched stem, the leaves re- 

 motor, obliquely erect, more irregularly and obliquely 

 formed and usually longer decurrent, whereas in the other 

 form the stem is shorter and pretty richly branched and 

 the leaves less riemote, jdanely distant and more regularly 

 formed. The leaves of this species point more towards the 

 apex than in K, Inchomanisy their longitudinal direction 

 usually forming an angle of & against the stem. The male 

 and female branches are postical and very short. The male 

 branches are not thicker than the stem, cylindrical, with 

 numerous bracts ; the bracts are very small, about 0,2 mm. 

 long, 0,1 mm. large, vnriously slmpod, often to the midst 

 bilobed ; the anlheridia are sphaerical with a very short 

 stalk that consists of only two cells. The female branches 

 are sphaerical, brownish, with few small brads of varying 

 shape; the archegonin are few, as it will appear only 8. 

 In the specimens, collected in June in Skane, both the 

 antheridia and the archegonia were in their best stale of 

 maturation.
