Very variable in size, habit and colour. A densely tufted form, 



yellowish above and fuscous below, occurs frequently. Green forms 



are only met with in shady piaces. On the east side of Vaago, 



on wet ground among rocks, I have gathered a pretty, robust, densely 



tufted form, the lufts of which are 4 — 5 centim. high, yellow-green 



above, fuscous below and interwoven with radicles. 



221. Blindia acuta (Huds.) Br. eur. 



B., I., N\v. (c, suba.). — Fær., common. On stones and rocks, on 

 nioist gravelly ground, near streams and rills, from the sea-shore to the 

 summits of mountains. Fr. not frequent. First discovered by Lb. Syd.; 

 Sando; Hesto; Vaago; Myggenæs; Str.; Ost.; Nordreoer. 



222. Anisothecium squarrosum (Stark.) Lindb., Dicranella squar- 



rosa Schinip. 



B., I., Nw. (c., suba.). — Fær., common. On moist ground, by 

 streams, in rills, from the sea-shore to ab. 300 m. Fr. rare. First dis- 

 covered by Lb. Syd.; Sando; Vaago; Str.; Ost.; Bordo (fr.). 



The tall, robust form (f. fontana) is common in rills. Some 



small and low forms grow on moist ground below Ornefjæld (Syd.), 



near Lejnumvatn (Str.) and at Aaerne, fr. (Bordo). 



223. A. crispum (Schreb.) Lindb., var. atlanticum v. n. 

 Cæspitulose, gracile, ab. 1 centim. high, yellowish green above, 



reddish brown at the base, leaves squarrose, laxly areolate as in 

 var. elatam Schimp., but differs in the partly obtuse and entire, 

 partly acute and indistinctly denticulate apex, mixed on the same 

 stem; nerve vanishing below apex.
