One of the commonest of our stream mosses. It forms 

 thick cushions adhering to rocks over which there is a 

 fairly constant flow of water. It is more or less plentiful 

 in all the cloughs. Needham has succeeded in finding it 

 in good fruit in the river Hebden (Naturalist, March 1900), 

 a circumstance of very rare occurrence.
