BRYACE.E.] 151 [Pohlia. 



wide-mouthed, rufous ; annulus none, lid large convex, mammillate ; 

 per. large, teeth solid, orange, dark red when dry, endostome yellow, 

 the processes serrate, with cilia in pairs. 



HAB. Clay fields and sides of ditches and water-courses. Fr. 4. 



Very variable in size, and sometimes slender, more than an inch high 

 and of a dull green colour. 



Pohlia pulchella (HEDW.) is very closely allied, but is a smaller more 

 slender plant, with the capsule distinctly annulate, smaller and thin-walled 

 and with smaller leaf-cells. It has been recorded from Dunottar (J. Sim 

 1870), but the specimens I have seen are P. carnea.
