HAB. On the ground in mountainous, and principally cal- 

 careous soils, rare in Scotland ; found on the sands of 

 Barrie by Mr. Drummond. 



Swartz's specimens are very different from our own in hav- 

 ing a remarkable furrow in the leaf as seen from above, and 

 consequently a projecting keel beneath; nor is there any nerve. 

 We are sorry not to have had the opportunity of ascertaining 

 whether the Linnsean species be the same. Ours coincides 

 precisely with what we have received from various Continental 

 Botanists. The fruit is extremely rare, and never, that we 

 have heard of, produced in this country. 



37. H. Blandovii ; stems pinnate, leaves serrated smooth on the 



back margins reflexed the cauline ones cordato-acute with a 

 short nerve, those of the branches ovato-acuminate with the 

 nerve disappearing beyond the middle, capsules cylindrical 

 inclined, lid conical. (TAB. XXV.)

HAB. Rocks in subalpine countries. 



For this interesting addition to the British Mosses we are 

 indebted to Mr. Joseph Woods, who found it on the rocks at 

 Tunbridge. Mohr, who first distinguished it from the preced- 

 ing species, says very justly, " facies H. abietini, a quo tamen 

 diifert ut H. splendens ab H. tamariscino." 



38. H. piliferum ; stems somewhat pinnate, leaves ovate with a 

 long narrow acumination serrated the nerve disappearing be- 

 low the middle, capsule cernuous, lid conico-acuminate. (TAB, 

 XXV.)
