Tor tula Ilibernica ; stems elongated, branched, the leaves loosely 
inserted, at the apices of the stems subcomose and stellate, having an 
erect base, which is dilated and clasping above, from thence they are 
patent or patenti-divergent, straight, rarely incurved or recurved, chan- 
nelled, when dry, cirrhate ; in outline they are ovate-lanceolate below, 
thence lineal-subulate and acute, the vellow nerve is continued to the 
apex, it is quite smooth on the bark, the margin is everywhere erect, 
quite entire in the dilated lower portion, where it is undulated, and in 
the upper only crenulate from the slight protuberance of the cells, 
these last, in the lower portion of the base, are elongated, rectangulate, 
and pellucid, quickly above changing into those which are minute, 
rounded, and obscure, on both surfaces of the leaf they are nearly 
smooth. 
Mountains near Dunkerron, common, but always sterile." — Dr. 
Taylor. 
Stems about two inches high. Foliage brownish-yellow. 
Ancectangium IIornschucliianuHi differs from the Irish Moss in its 
densely inserted leaves, which have the pellucid cells of their dilated 
base continued up into the narrowed patent portion, and thence gradu- 
ally passing into rounded obscure ones, the whole upper portion of the 
leaf is narrower and more gradually narrowed to the point, the margin 
of the upper part of the dilated base is always more or less distinctly 
crenate or serrulate, from thence to the apex it is entire, and the 
foliage is altogether more soft. Didpnodon cylindricus has the base 
of its leaves but very little wider than the upper portion, and this last 
more flattened, not convex on the back, and the whole substance less 
linn and persistent.
