142 HOW TO KNOW THE MOSSES 



This species will not be confused with other mosses 

 growing in boggy places, except possibly with certain 

 Dicranums that are rarely found. See D. Bergeri and 

 D. Bonjcani (p. 92). The leaves of Aulacomnium pal- 

 ustre are not so long as those of Dicranum, nor so 

 thickly set, and never turn to one side.
