In flat patches, soft in appearance, as well as to the touch, 
the young pale pea-green, the older much paler, almost 
white; stems five or six or more inches long; branches 
crowded and nearly equal, whence the shoots have a pec- 
tinate appearance. Leaves patent at the base, incurved at 
the top. Stipules smaller, but similar to the leaves. Calyces 
nearly two lines long, lateral; pedicels half an inch long. 
Capsule oblong. 3 
This may easily be overlooked for Jungermannia Tomentella, 
Ehrh.; but the branches are more crowded, cylindrical, not 
compressed, the stipules and leaves are dichotomously 
divided, and the scales on the calyx are longer, and lineari- 
lanceolate. — 2
