Dioicous ; densely caespitose, in large low olivaceous or bright green 

 or tawny tufts ; stems ^ i in. high, erect, radiculose only at base. 

 Leaves gradually longer to the coma, erecto-patent, lower lanceolate, 

 median lane, subulate, upper from an ovato-lanceolate base, suddenly 

 setaceous, denticulate at point ; nerve width of base, sulcate at back, 

 in section of 3 strata of cells, the two anterior lax, echlorophyllose ; 

 angular cells small, lax, inconspicuous, the rest small, quadrate, very 

 minute above. Caps, on a pale flexuose cygneous pedicel, deflexed, 

 elliptic-oblong, pale olive, becoming pale brown when empty; lid conico- 

 subulate, red, darker at base, with a broad annulus ; calyptra blackish 

 at apex ; teeth red at base, pale above, cleft to middle ; perich. bracts 

 convolute, sheathing, gradually subulate, laxly areolate at base. 



Male plant dwarf; inner bracts from a broad base shortly 

 acuminate. 



HAS. Heaths, moorlands and by sides of ditches; not uncommon. Fr.

This may be easily confused with some forms of C. fragilis, but the 

 leaves are more irregularly divergent, and with longer setaceous points, the 

 lamina ends more abruptly above, and is not narrowed at the base, the whole 

 dilated part being scarce J length of leaf. The var. M 'Alien (C. Mnllevi 

 JURATZKA), is only a form with the fringe of the calyptra imperfectly developed ; 

 Mr. Holt finds it at Delamere, Cheshire, as frequent as the ordinary state. 



2. CAMPYLOPUS FRAGILIS (Dicks.) Br. Sch. 



Dioicous ; pale green, densely leafy above ; leaves straight, narrowly 

 lanceolate, very thin and pale at base. Caps, bent down among the 

 leaves, oval olivaceous ; lid pale red. (T. XVIII, A.)
