 HAB. Cotterall Wood near Manchester. Mr. Hobson. 



Near the Loch of Forfar, Scotland. Mr. Drummond. 

 We took notice of this plant in our first edition under //. 

 lutescens , and H. plumosum, but, judging as we did then from 

 imperfect specimens, we were unable to satisfy ourselves of its 

 real characters. Mr. Hobson, its original discoverer in this 

 country, has since found it plentifully in the above habitat, and 

 we find it to accord in every respect with the Hedwigian 

 figure and description. It is remarkable for its pale green 

 colour, and thin flaccid leaves, which are generally more patent, 

 and tapering into a more hair-like and waved point than any of 

 its affinities. 



25. //. lutescens ; leaves erecto-patent lanceolate acuminated en- 

 tire striated the nerve disappearing below the point, capsule 

 ovate cernuous, fruitstalks rough, lid conico-acuminate.

HAB. Banks and stems of trees, and bushes near the

Stems much branched, branches spreading. Leaves some- 

 times slightly serrulated under a microscope, of a bright yellow- 

 green colour. We have already observed how nearly this 

 species is allied to H. salebrosum of Mohr, (/f. plumosum, 

 Hedw.) insomuch that they who have considered them dis- 

 tinct, can discover no other character by which they may be 

 known than the smooth fruitstalk and somewhat shorter lid of
