200 DIPLOPERISTOMI. [Bryum. 



This species, so remarkable for the form of its capsule, 

 resembles the preceding in colour, and in its large reticulation. 



Nerve of the leaf reaching to the pointy or beyond it. 



12. B. roseum ; leaves obovato-spatlmlate acute serrated undulate 



nerve running to the point, capsule oblongo-ovate pendulous.

HAB. Banks and on heaths, especially in submountainous 

 countries ; rare in fructification. On banks near Meavy, 

 Devonshire, in fruit. Rev. J. S. Tozer. 

 The stems of this fine species are branched below the surface 

 of the ground ; the rest of them is at the base bare of foliage ; 

 above, the leaves are spread out in a stellated manner, or, as 

 Mr. Turner well observes, so as to resemble an expanded rose. 

 We are indebted for our fructified specimens to Mr. Drum- 

 mond, who found them near Cork. 



13. B. capillare ; stems short, leaves obovate twisted when dry 



entire their nerve produced into a hair-like point, their mar- 

 gins slightly thickened, capsule oblong pendulous. (TAB.

This has been often, we believe, taken for /?. ccespiticium ; 

 but the greater length of its capsule, its obovate leaves, twisted 

 when dry, together with the hair-like point formqd by the 

 excurrent nerve, will always distinguish it.
