258 CARDOT AND THERIOT 



This moss undoubtedly belongs to D. anderssonii Sch. {Arctoa 

 anderssonii Wich. in Flora, 1859, no. 27). In his second edition 

 of the Synopsis, Schimper reunites it to D. hyperboreum, from 

 which, however, it seems sufficiently distinct by its smaller, sub- 

 globose capsule, turbinate after the fall of the lid, very shortly pedi- 

 cellate and almost always surrounded and surpassed by the perichaetial 

 leaves, and by the cells of the exothecium being smaller, with more 

 solid and more colored walls. According to C. Jensen (Bryo- 

 phyta of the Faeroes, in his Botany of the Faeroes, p. 159), the 

 capsule of Dicranum anderssonii should be destitute of stomates, 

 but in the Port Wells specimen all the capsules bear several stomates 

 at the base of the very short neck.
