MOSSES WITH A HAND-LENS 



69 



Apophysis, see hypophysis, the more 

 correct term according to Braithwaite. 



Appendiculate cilia, cilia with small 

 transverse spurs attached at intervals 

 along the margin. (Fig. 29.) As these 

 bars sometimes extend inward instead of 

 laterally, they are not always visible in a 

 strictly dorsal view. 



Arcuate, (capsule) bent in a curve 

 like a bow. (Fig. 30.) 



Articulate, (teeth of peristome) 

 marked by cross-bars as in Figs. 

 31 and 43. 



Astomous, (capsule) without a 

 mouth. Used of capsules which 

 have no regularly dehiscent lid. 



Beak, prolonged narrow tip of 

 the operculum. The opercula in 

 Figs. 30 and 32 are strongly beaked. 



Calyptra, the thin veil or hood covering the 

 mouth of the capsule. (Figs. 33 and 41.) 



Cancellate, latticed. Used of the endostome of 

 the Fontinalacecc. 

 23 Capsule, the enlarged distal end of the sporo 

 phyte; it contains the spores, and is sometimes 

 known as the sporangium. (Figs. 30, 32, 35, 39 and 40.) 



Cernuous, (capsule) droop- 

 ing or nodding, somewhat in- 

 clined as opposed to erect. 

 (Fig- 350 



Cilia, hair-like threads of the 

 endostome, alternating witli 

 the segments. (Fig. 29 and 

 Figs. 36, c and 43, d. ) 

 Clathrate, resembling lattice-work. 

 Cleistocarpous, capsule opening irregularly, not 

 by a lid or valves. 



Collum, the neck or tapering base of the cap- 

 sule. (See Fig. 40.) 



Columella, the central axis of the capsule; 

 around it and between it and the outer wall of 

 the capsule are borne the spores. Sometimes the
