On the ground in moist places. 



Stem less than half an inch in height, but elongated by innova- 

 tions to above an inch ; the innovations slender and deli- 

 cate. Leaves erecto-patent, pelkicid, ovate, acute, concave, 

 entire, with the margin so much incuived towards the point 

 as to be almost involute, reticulated with lax, large, elon- 

 gated cellules, and furnished with a slender percurrent 

 nerve : those of the innovations are rather distantly placed, 

 of a pale bright reddish brown below, the upper ones of a 

 pale pleasant green. Fruitstalk about an inch in length, 

 red. Capsule rather large, obovate, inclined, reddish brown, 

 when very old, somewhat pyriform. 



Some of the outer teeth of the peristome were perfect ; but 



In 



the inner ones were too much damaged for examination.
