HOW TO KNOW THE MOSSES 



Entodon cladorrhizans (Hedw.) C. Miill. usually 

 grows on old logs or at the base of trees. It is light 

 green or yellow-green and glossy, 

 but not golden. The leaves are 

 usually large enough to be seen 

 when moist. The stems nearly 

 always have a flattened, pressed 

 appearance, making them rather 

 broad, although the leaves do not appear to be in only 

 two rows, as in other flattened mosses. This species 

 does not fruit so freely as E. seductrix, and is not so 

 common. 



Range, New Brunswick to Minnesota, south to the Gulf 

 States; Europe. 



Entodon cladorrhizans 



Entodon seductrix (Hedw.) C. Miill. is frequent in 

 moist woods on decaying logs, earth, rocks, and roots 

 of trees, sometimes fruiting abun- 

 dantly. The stems are usually 

 smoothly cylindrical, especially when 

 dry. The leaves are not easily seen, 

 are closely folded, and are usually 

 glossy; yellowish-green, often golden, very rarely dark 

 green. 



Range, New England to Minnesota, south to Florida and 

 Texas.
