Cyrtopus curtipendulus SPRUCE Muse. Pyren. no. 113 et Ann. and Mag. nat. hist. 1849, p. 151. 



Dioicous ; prostrate or pendulous, in laxly interwoven brownish-green 

 tufts ; the secondary stems much elongated, irregularly pinnate. Leaves 

 crowded, patent, imbricated when dry, ovato-lanceolate with long points, 

 irregularly plicate, broadly revolute at margin which is serrate in the point 

 and terminating in two recurved teeth, distinct in the young leaves but 

 generally lost in the old ones ; nerve strong, ending below the point, and 

 with i 2 short faint ones on each side ; cells along the middle elongated, 

 towards the margin roundish-hexagonal. Perichaetium long and sheathing, 

 the bracts imbricated, the inner lanceolate with long subulate points, nerve- 

 less. Seta short, purple, smooth and flexuose ; capsule cernuous, elliptic, 

 reddish-brown ; lid convex-conic, rostellate ; teeth of peristome lanceolate- 

 subulate, yellowish, not perforated ; processes of endostome without basal 

 membrane, subulate, long as teeth. 

 HAB. On trees and rocks in subalpine districts. Fr. 4 5. 



Wistman's wood, Dartmoor, plentiful ! ! 



Var. . Californica Sulliv. 



Plants more slender, the branches often flagelliform ; leaves densely imbricated, 

 broader, only slightly serrulate, the sulci and lateral nerves obsolete.

This fine moss is remarkable for the two hooked teeth which terminate the 

 leaves, and are no doubt intended to hold the long branches together, for in the 

 old leaves they are generally broken 'off by the action of the wind.
