when dry very much crisped, when moist subarcuite, short attenuate 

 to the acute apex ; boiders revolute above the base, for the greater 

 part, at least on one side, distinctly papillose, also at the back ; cells at 

 basal wings sub-quadrate hyaline with incrassate transverse walls, those 

 next the costa narrower, rectangular, in straight rows, the lowest orange ; 

 costa pale, sub-percurrent. Male (lower at the side of the female. Inner 

 perigonial leaves broad, short-ovate, obtusate or suddenly short-acum- 

 inate ; cells round only in the acumen, the others narrow, the lower

 Perichetial leaves with sublinear basal cells. Capsule dark-brown short

This species is a true tjlota, although the revolute leaf-borders, the 

 distinctly papillose cells and short pedicellate capsule are more like an 

 Orthotrichum,
