On the ground in moist places. 
Stem less than half an inch in height, but elongated by innova- 
tions to above an inch; the innovations slender and deli- 
cate. Leaves erecto-patent, pellucid, ovate, acute, concave, 
entire, with the margin so much incurved towards the point 
as to be almost involute, reticulated with lax, large, elon- 
gated cellules, and furnished with a slender percurrent 
nerve : those of the innovations are rather distantly placed, 
of a pale bright reddish brown below, the upper ones of a 
pale pleasant green. — Fruitstalk about an inch in length, 
red. Capsule rather large, obovate, inclined, reddish brown, 
when very old, somewhat pyriform. 
Some of the outer teeth of the peristome were perfect; but 
the inner ones were too much damaged for examination.
