Hypnum densum, (Swartz.) 
A few specimens of this moss have been sent mixed up 
with Neckera luteo-virens (Taylor), which it very closely 
resembles. The fruit, hitherto unknown, proves it to be a 
Neckera : it scarcely differs from Neckera luteo-virens, except 
in the fragile leaves, which are narrower and plicato-striate, 
and in the more slender stems.
