224 CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
54.—D. cerviculata Hedw. Dicranum cerviculatum UHedw., Wils., 
Hobk., Berk. On damp, turfy heaths and banks, near streams, 
somewhat local. Frequent in Sutton Park! Coleshill Heath! 
55.—D. varia Hedw. JDicranum varium Wils., Hobk. On clay 
banks and heathy waysides, not common. Sutton Park! Plants 
Brook! Great Packington! canal bank near Knowle! Solihull! 
Shrewley Common! canal bank near Rowington! November. 
56.—D. rufescens Turn. Dicranwm rufescens Turn., Wils., Hobk. 
Very rare. On sandy banks, Tythall Lane, near Solihull! As I 
find this moss abundant on the Permian sandstone, near Ham- 
stead, I think it probable that it may be also found in like places 
on the Permian rocks of Warwickshire. November. 
59.—D. heteromalla Hedw. Dicranum heteromallum WHedw., Wils., 
Hobk., Purt. Common. Ragley Woods! Oversley Wood! Purt., 
Vol. I1., p. 545. Sutton Park! Curdworth! Marston Green! &c. 
A form with very dark-green strongly cirrhate leaves occurs on 
damp banks, and is most frequently barren. Sandy and damp 
banks. November to April. 
64.—Dicranum montanum Hedw. On the roots of oak trees, very rare. 
This plant was a new addition to the British moss flora when I 
first found it in 1870, and was abundant in Lower Nuthurst. The 
tree on which it grew has since been felled, and it is now only 
sparingly represented. Figured and described by Dr. Braithwaite, 
under the name of Weissia truncicola (De Not.,) to which species it 
was then referred, but afterwards decided to be Dicranwm montanum 
by Dr. Lindberg. See ‘‘Journal of Botany,” October, 1871, tab. 
119, fig. 2. Recorded from Abbey Wood, Kent, ‘ Journal of 
Botany,” January, 1877, E. M. Holmes, Esq. 
71.—D. scoparium Ll. Hedge banks, heaths, and woods, local. Rare 
in fruit. In fruit Brown’s Wood, near Solihull! Tythall Lane, 
Solihull! School Rough, Marston Green! Oversley Wood! Poor’s 
Wood, Honily ! July, August. 
72.—D. majus Turn. Woods, rare. Kirsley, near Coventry, in fruit, (T.Kirk !) 
Brown’s Wood, near Solihull! Hart’s Hill Hayes! July, August. 
73.—D. palustre Brid. D. Bonjeanii, De Not. On banks, heaths, 
marshy places, old thatched roofs, &c., not rare. Sutton 
Park! always barren. Marston Green! abundant on an old 
thatched roof, Reddicap Hill, near Sutton ! August. 
75.—D. spurium Hedw. On damp heaths, very rare. On Coleshill 
Heath, (H. Webb!) This plant I have looked for frequently in 
the locality cited, but have never seenit. I have an authentic 
specimen collected by H. Webb from this locality. 
84.—Campylopus flecuosus Brid. Dicranum jflexuosum Purt. ‘Rocks, 
high moors. The specimen which I found upon some very high 
ground in Ragley Woods was in close tufts.” (Purt., Vol. IL, 
p. 544.) I have never seen this moss in Warwickshire, but do not 
think Purton would make a mistake in the species. 
88.—C. fragilis B. and 8. C. densus, b. fragilis Wils. C. densus 
Berk. Heath lands, local. Sutton Park, frequent on heath 
lands, but very rarely fruiting. September. 
90.—C. pyriformis Brid. CC. torfaceus B. and §., Wilson, Hobk. 
On damp heath lands and the sides of streams and drains in a 
peaty soil, local. Abundant in fruit on boggy heath land above 
Blackroot Pool, Sutton Park, 1875. Coleshill bog, 1876. Ibelieve 
that the variety b. Miilleri also occurs in Sutton Park, but I have 
never been able to get perfect specimens, so as to place the matter 
beyond a doubt. July, August.
