NATURAL HISTORY, TORONTO REGION 



The following notes refer to the occurrence of 

 these species in the present-day flora. 



Drepanocladus capillif olius has been collected near 

 Montreal, but is probably rare in Eastern America. 

 It is frequent on the Pacific coast. 



Drepanocladus vernicosus is a rather rare species 

 of swamps and bogs to the south, but is said to be 

 common in similar habitats in Canada north of Lake 

 Superior and to the west. It has also been found in 

 Prince Edward Island and Anticosti. 



Drepanocladus lycopodioides is certainly rare in 

 our range. It grows in bogs and peat meadows and 

 is found as far north as Greenland. 



Drepanocladus aduncus occurs on wet earth, stones,, 

 pools, spring places, swamps, and is reported through* 

 out Canada, including the Lake Ontario district. 



Drepanocladus fluitans is a moss of swamps, pools 

 and peat bogs. Its range extends from Labrador to 

 British Columbia. 



Hygrohypnum palustre is uncommon to the south, 

 but is said to be frequent in Canada on rocks in 

 rivers. It is reported from New Brunswick, Gaspe, 

 Owen Sound, Lake Superior, and British Columbia. 



Hygrohypnum montanum is regarded as an alpine 

 or subalpine moss of New England, Canada and 

 Newfoundland. It is common to several stations in 

 Canada, and among others to Owen Sound. It 

 grows in mats on wet or submerged rocks.
