LIST OF HEREFORDSHIRE MOSSES. 



I. Sphagnum acutifolium. 14. Sparingly scattered on the Llan- 

 thony hills. Ffwddog, Llanthony, 1873, Ley. Not found by Crouch in the Pem- 

 bridge neighbourhood. Abundant in the bordering counties of West Gloucester 

 (Mitcheldean Meend) and Monmouth (Trelleck Bog). 



Var. B. deflexura. Herefordshire face of the Ffwddog, March, 

 1880, Ley. 



7. Sphagnum intermedium. 14. On the Monmouthshire face of 

 the Ffwddog, March, 1880, Ley. Summit of Y-Garth, Hatterels, June, 1880. 



8. Sphagnum CUSpidatum. 11. Park-stile, Lyonshall, Crouch. 

 Occurs, I believe, at Trelleck and on Mitcheldean Meend. 



Var. B. plumosum. 11, 14. Park-stile, Lyonshall, Crouch. At 

 Trelleck, very fine. Boggy pools, "Lo.xy Lump," on the Hatterels, Hereford- 

 shire, June 17, 1880, Ley. 



II. Sphagnum subsecundum. 1, 11, 14. Vallets' Wood, Pem- 

 bridge. Crouch. " Subsccuudaiii and varieties occur in District 11; but scarcely 

 true contortum" — Crouch. Ffwddog, Llanthony, Ley; a curious variety, of which 

 Mr. Boswell writes to me: "It looks like a gigantic a(iuatic Hypnuni at fir.st 

 sight, and approaches to Sphaynuni cyclopkyUum in habit. Probably it is suh- 

 ssecunduin var. siiiiplicissimum N. and H., Bryolog. Germ." Another marked 

 variety occurs on Mitcheldean Meend ; and the variety contortum is fine both 

 there and at Trelleck. Damp spots, Welsh Newton Common, SiJptember, 1879,
