438 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
Another station has lately been discovered for that highly 
curious and rare Moss, Buzbaumia aphylla, by Mr George - 
Lyon of Glasgow, upon a bleak knoll, on hills of considerable 
elevation at Bowling, on the banks of the Clyde, about twelve | 
miles below Glasgow. The locality of this Moss is very re- 
markable. On the Continent of Europe, and in North 
America, we believe its habitat is generally the old decayed 
trunks of trees. In England, it was first discovered thirty- 
five years ago, on the ground, in.a young fir-plantation near 
Norwich. The second station was near Aberdeen ; the third 
in a wood, but on the bare ground, at Rosslyn; the fourth 
on a moor in Peebles-shire ; the fifth, on a very exposed spot 
near the summit of one of the Lomond hills in Fifeshire ; 
and lastly, in the place above mentioned in Dumbartonshire. 
In all these localities the plant has generally been found: 
very: — and has soon disappeared. —
