HAD. Bogs on the higher mountains.

Wilson had another variety which he named . cochlsarifolium, but the 

 specimen I have seen differs in no way from the type, and the spoon-shape 

 probably applies to the leaf in a growing state. 



CINCLIDIUM Swartz. 

 SCHRAD. Journ. Bot. 1801, P. i, p. 25. 



Plants tall resembling Mnium pundalum, interwoven with dense 

 black tomentum. Leaves round, obovate, limbate, entire, cells 

 hexagonal. Caps, pendulous, oblong; calyptra minute, cucullate, lid 

 convex ; peristome of 16 short obtuse incurved teeth, endostome a 

 cupola-shaped membrane with 16 foramina opposite the teeth. 

 Growing in spongy bogs. Der. KiyXis a lattice. 



A fine genus agreeing closely with Mnium in its vegetative system, but 

 differing widely in the peristome and endostome, the latter forming a 

 beautiful membranous dome supported on 16 pillars, between which the 

 teeth curve inward. Besides our British species, C. arcticum, subrolundwn and 

 hymenophyllum are Scandinavian, and C. latifoliiim Siberian. 



CINCLIDIUM STYGIUM Swartz.
