Common in the water-runs of Luddenden Dean ; Crims- 

 worth Dean ; Booth Dean ; Cragg Vale ; Mixenden 

 Ings ; Binnroyd Clough ; High-lee Clough ; Hollock 

 Lea, and numerous other places. This moss as its name 

 indicates, loves spring- heads where it may invariably be 

 found. It follows the rills down the hill-sides and into 

 the deans. Though its home is by the side of the stream- 

 let, it will grow freely in the company of Sphagnum, or 

 even among grass, in very wet places. Like most other 

 common mosses it is very variable.
