HAB. Upon the ground on an old neglected road in Glen 

 Tilt, at the foot of Ben-y-Gloe, on a clayey soil. 

 Greville and Hooker, 1823. 



This moss has the habit of D. squarrosum, but with a dis- 

 tinct struma, and leaves that are remarkable for their broad 

 sheathing bases ; the whole plant too is much smaller and more 

 slender. 



It seems to be very rare in Scotland. In the broadly tufted 

 manner of its growth it resembles D. varium. 



11. D. strumiferum ; stems elongated, leaves from a broad sheath- 



ing base subulate entire their margins plane crisped when 

 dry pointing in all directions, capsule furrowed oblongo- 

 ovate subcernuous strumose, lid rostrate. (TAB. XVII.)

HAB. On marshy places in alpine situations. 

 Except that the margins of the leaves of this species are not 

 recurved as in the preceding, and that its capsule is shorter and 

 furrowed, there is scarcely a mark of distinction to be found 

 between them. 



12. D. polycarpum; stems elongated branched, leaves patent 

 directed to every side lanceolato-subulate their margins 

 recurved flexuose subserrulate crisped when dry, capsule ob- 

 longo-ovate nearly erect furrowed when old, struma scarcely 

 gibbous, lid rostrate. (TAB. XVIII.)
