Frequent in bogs, but always barren. 



This species has no doubt commonly been passed over as a state of 

 D. undulatum or of D. scoparium, to which last in habit and appearance 

 it has great resemblance, but it differs in having the upper part of its 

 leaves broader and more strap-shaped and not subulate ; the nerve 

 vanishes below the point, in D. scoparium it is excurrent ; the areo- 

 lation of the leaves is much more lax than in D. scoparium or D. 

 Schraderi ; the capsules without opercula, sent by Mr. Spruce and 

 Mr. Gardiner, resemble those of B. scoparium. As in B. undulatum, 

 the leaves of this moss are prettily undulated, especially when dry.
