no HOW TO KNOW THE MOSSES 



Encalypta may be expected only in the higher alti- 

 tudes, especially in limestone regions. The distinguish- 

 ing characteristics are the leaf-tips curving in when dry, 

 and especially the cylindrical calyptra, when present, 

 closely covering the capsule. The leaves are short and 

 broad as in Barhula (p. 105) and Tortula (p. 107), but 

 they are larger and less strongly crisped. The stems 

 are also more robust.
