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 

 preceding species, says very justly, " facies H. abietini y a 

 quo tamen dirTert ut H . splendens ab H. tamariscino" 



86. H. piliferum ; stems somewhat pinnate; leaves ovate, with 

 a long narrow acumination, serrated, nerve disappearing 

 below the middle ; capsule ovate, cernuous ; lid rostrate.

HAB. Banks. Fructification rare. 



This is a distinctly marked plant in its exactly ovate 

 stem-leaves, with a long point so suddenly acuminated that 

 they appear, especially when dry, to be hair-pointed. Those 

 of the stem terminate more gradually, and scarcely justify 

 the specific name. 



37. H. rutabulum ; stems variously branched ; leaves patent, 

 ovate, acuminated, serrated at the points, striated, their 

 nerve reaching half way ; capsule ovate, cernuous ; fruit- 

 stalk rough ; lid conical. (TAB. XXVI.)

HAB. On trees and on banks, extremely common, 



H. brevirostre, a name previously given by Ehrhart to a 



variety of Hypnum triquetrum, can never be applied to the 



present species. 



38. H. velutinum ; stems variously branched \ leaves erecto-pa- 



tent, ovate, often approaphing to lanceolate, acuminated, 

 serrated, striated, nerve reaching half way; capsule ovate, 

 cernuous ; fruitstalk rough ; lid conical. (TAB. XXVI.)
