Autoicous ; densely gregarious and subcsespitant, deep yellow- 

 green. Lower leaves very small, the comal patulous, oblongo and 

 spathulato-lanc., acuminate, sharply serrate in the upper part, not 

 limbate, twisting somewhat when dry, nerve vanishing below apex. 

 Caps, on a straight reddish seta, a little asymmetric, spherical, or with 

 the short neck, shortly pyriform, reddish-brown, contracted and more 

 elongated when old, not annulate ; calyptra inflated yellowish, lid small, 

 convex, the cells spirally oblique, peristome rudimentary and fugacious, 

 consisting of short papillose fragments, spores strongly verruculose. 



HAB. In fields and on banks, generally distributed in subalpine districts, 

 but not common. Fr. 4 5. 



Most resembling Physcomitrium pyriforme, but readily distinguished by the 

 different calyptra and lid.
